Obituary for MCCARTHY


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Sunday April 24, 2011

Nikki McCarthy, age 61, died April 19, 2011. She is survived by her partner, Patty Mourant of Albuquerque; her parents, Rev. Richard and Mrs. Helen McCarthy of Albuquerque; and her sister, Jan McCarthy of Glendale, CA. Nikki had a profound love of the natural world; birding and photography connected her to nature wherever she was. Professionally, she worked first in forestry, then shifted midlife to clinical social work. She brought a deep sense of caring and respect to both. She will be remembered and treasured by many families, children, colleagues, and friends as well as her feathered and four legged companions. A service honoring and celebrating Nikki's life will be held on Saturday, April 30, 2011, Elena Gallegos Open Space, at 3:00 PM. Memorial contributions may be made in Nikki's name to the Whitefish Point Bird Observatory in Paradise, MI. (WPBO.org) FRENCH 1111 University Blvd NE (505)843-6333
