Obituary
Annie was this nation's leading anthropologist. Throughout her long and fulfilling life, she studied the history of nutrition and the evolution of homemade meals. She was a social scientist, a loving mother and grandmother, and a devoted observer of how we defined healthy food.
She died of old age, at 94 years old, survived by her three children and five grandchildren. She left us in the middle of a project she had been working on in the last five years: to analyze modern mother's preference of and definition on convenient and healthy packaged food. She passed away in her sleep at her home library. She will be missed not only by her academic peers but also by all food lovers. Her achievement and contribution to the understanding of our balancing act on nutrition and convenience is unique and cannot be replaced by anyone. May she rest on her laurels and in peace.
