 Dear friends and
 colleagues,
 These are very sad news. The
 food composition family is losing an important member.
 Joanne had great knowledge and visions, and was always ready
 to share it in training workshops, country visits, among
 colleagues in person and over the e-mail. She has advanced
 the food composition science a lot, adding new features and
 giving others a good example. Not only was she a great
 colleague but also a very nice, warm and caring person. I am
 sure, she will remain in the hearts and good memories of
 many, including mine.
 
 I
 feel privileged having known her and worked with her.
 
 Joanne will be greatly
 missed
 
 In the name of
 INFOODS, I wish to express our condolence to her family and
 friends. May she rest in peace
 
 Ruth 
 INFOODS coordinator

 Subject: death of Joanne Holden
 
 In memory of Joanne Holden,
 MS
 Retired from ARS-USDA June 30, 2012
 Passed away October 2, 2014
 
 Joanne Holden received her BS in Foods and
 Nutrition from the University of Delaware, Newark, Delaware.
 She worked for the University of Maryland (UMD) Cooperative
 Extension Service in Frederick County before enrolling in
 the UMD Graduate School.    She joined the Beltsville
 Human Nutrition Research Center, Agricultural Research
 Service, USDA in 1969 as a Support Scientist in the
 Carbohydrate Metabolism Laboratory where she conducted
 research on the effects of carbohydrate intake and
 metabolism while completing the MS degree in Human Nutrition
 Research. Ms. Holden assisted in the conduct of some of the
 first (BHNRC) human feeding studies and the analysis of
 human biological samples.  She then worked as a Research
 Nutritionist in the Food Composition Laboratory (now FCMDL),
 BHNRC for 20 years.  She worked with Dr. Wayne Wolf and
 others to sample and analyze various types of foods for
 nutrient content, the results of which were included in the
 Human Nutrition Information Service (HNIS) National Nutrient
 Databank.  Joanne developed food sampling plans for use in
 various FCL research projects as well as expert systems for
 evaluating the quality of analytical data for both inorganic
 and organic components in foods. This led to her interest in
 the assessment of data quality for newly recognized
 bioactive compounds such as flavonoids in foods.
 
 Joanne joined the Nutrient
 Data Laboratory (NDL) as Research Leader in 1995, providing
 leadership and coordination in the acquisition, evaluation,
 compilation and dissemination of food composition data and
 related research efforts.  This included the National
 Nutrient Database for Standard Reference (SR), the
 authoritative source of U.S. food composition data.  Her
 research interests in food sampling, bioactive compounds and
 the evaluation of data quality led to the development and
 coordination of the National Food and Nutrient Analysis
 Program (NFNAP), which has supported the generation of
 current, accurate original analytical data for ~2000 foods
 targeted as the most significant contributors of nutrients
 in the US diet.  She authored many publications and
 presentations on USDA food composition research.
 
 Joanne served as the
 Co-Director of the International Postgraduate Course for the
 Production, Management, and Use of Food Composition Data
 between 1994 and 2005, which is coordinated and supported by
 the Food and Agriculture Organization (INFOODS), Rome,
 Italy, the Wageningen Agricultural University, Wageningen,
 The Netherlands and the European Food Information Research
 Program (EuroFIR), Norwich, U.K.  This international course
 has trained more than 400 scientists from 85 countries since
 1992; she taught in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa
 to groups of analytical chemists, data compilers, and users
 of food composition data on the topics of food sampling,
 data quality evaluation, and the development of food
 composition databases and will be remembered all around the
 world.
 
 Joanne was, above
 all, a loving mother, sister, grandmother, partner, aunt and
 friend and is survived by her devoted sons Jeff and David,
 three beautiful grandchildren and loving partner Larry
 Brown.
 
 Memorial
 arrangements:
 Kaufman Funeral Home at
 Meadowridge Memorial Park

 Blvd, Elkridge, MD 21075
 Visitation: Sunday,
 October 5, 2014 @ 2pm-4pm, 7pm-9pm
 Funeral:
 Monday, October 6, 2014 @ 10am
 
 I apologize for duplicate sends to some of
 you.  This is a difficult time for USDA and the wonderful
 network of INFOODS friends and colleagues.  Joanne fought
 bravely against MDS and leukemia since her retirement in
 2012.  She will be missed so much.
