Daylight Saving Time ends in just one week! Are you ready to "fall back" in the early hours on Sunday, November 2? 👀

The general idea is that this allows us all to use natural daylight better: moving clocks back 1 hour in the fall grants us more daylight during winter mornings. In the autumn, we set our clocks back one hour until Daylight Saving Time again in March.

Not everyone is a fan of this practice, though! In the U.S., exceptions to DST are Arizona (except for the Navajo Nation), Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and American Samoa.

Learn more about where Daylight Saving Time originated, and why we still largely practice it today. Almanac.com/DST

Suzanna Fraser Hood

GLASGOW - Suzanna Carl Fraser Hood, 93, passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 23, 2025, at Shanti Niketan Hospice Home. Sue was born on November 27, 1931, in Metcalfe County to the late Carl B. and Mary Orlena Fraser of the Red Lick Community in Metcalfe County. Sue will always be known for her flair for storytelling of days gone by, her ability to tell a joke like none other, and her master skills in playing bridge for 70+ years.

Sue attended a one-room school as a child and graduated from Edmonton High School. Afterwards, she attended business school in Louisville and eventually began working for General Electric.

On October 29, 1955, Sue married Matthew Cary Hood, who practiced dentistry in Glasgow for more than 50 years. They were married nearly 57 years before Dr. Hood’s death in March of 2012. Sue and Cary eventually moved to Glasgow in 1961, began his dental practice, and raised three daughters.

Sue was a homemaker but found time to go to ceramic classes, line dancing lessons, join a bowling league, play ladies' day golf, play bridge, and be a room mother for her three daughters’ elementary school classes. Sue was also an excellent cook and could be found perusing through cookbooks for new recipes to add to her collection.

Sue was loved and will be missed. She always made you feel special and was never at a loss for words. She loved her family fiercely and treasured the time she had with each and every one. Sue was a faithful member of Glasgow Baptist Church and cherished her fellow church members. Dedicated to her faith, Sue made time each day to pray to her Lord, out loud and proud.

Sue is survived by her three daughters, Dr. Mary E. Hood of Metairie, Louisianna, Kelly Beals (Timothy) of Glasgow, and Linda Jessee (Mike) of Louisville; five grandchildren, Kateland Long (Josh) of Munster, Indiana, Matthew Beals (Katherine) of Bowling Green, Morgan McFarland (Daniel) of Louisville, Shelby Jessee of Louisville, Ella Jessee of Louisville; four great-grandchildren, Ruth Long, JP Long, Betsy Long and Andy Beals; along with several nieces, a nephew, and many cousins whom she loved dearly.

In addition to her parents and husband, Sue was preceded in death by three sisters, Jeanette Phillips (Hal), Virginia Janes (Tom B.), and Cora Fraser.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of Sue Hood to Shanti Niketan Hospice Home or Glasgow Baptist Church.

The funeral service for Sue will be held at 11:00 AM, Tuesday, October 28, 2025, at A.F. Crow & Son Funeral Home with burial in the Glasgow Municipal Cemetery. Visitation will be Monday, October 27, 2025, from 4:00 PM until 8:00 PM and Tuesday morning until time for the service at the funeral home.
