Dear All

Its a great loss but a part of life. I remember her as an able teacher with firm detrmination and devotion for the trainees in FoodComp courses. I consider my self fortunate to have learned some thing from her. Best part of Joanne life is that she lived it fully, gave best from her potential to the world. 

As she faught bodily pains for long time in a way her soul is relived from all these. May her soul rest in peace. 

If there is rebirth as we believe in this part of world, she will come again and serve to the cause of humanity - may be to food and nutrition community with the renewed energy and enthusiasm in her new body.

 Thanks, Pamela, it is a very nice tribute. Joanne
 will long be remembered as one of food composition's
 great figures.

 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
 
 7250 Washington 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.
