Born into a hardscrabble time, she starting working as a child with her parents, Carl S. & Maude L. Williams, of Leesburg, FL. They traveled the Eastern Seaboard as migrant farm workers.

At age 21, she married the love of her life, William E. "Bill" Hood. They spent over 43 years together until his passing. She was always hands on, she worked for decades doing things such as manufacturing thermometers, repairing telephones and cable boxes. She finished up her work years with the Walton company, first at Bud's, then WalMart. She lived her life fearlessly, and with grace. She could jump on a plane just as easy as hopping into her truck and just driving. She enjoyed life, she was an avid reader, quilting, crochet, and listening to country music.
She is survived by her Daughter, Cindy Hood of Fruitland Park, FL; Grandchildren; Donny Reger, Margaret Reger, and Danielle Reger, all of Eustis, FL, and Corrina Reger of Valdosta, GA; 5 great-grandchildren; and numerous extended family and friends.
