Laura Hood Nation
March 5, 1970 –
Laura Hood Nation, 53, of Riverview, born March 5, 1970 in St. Petersburg, entered into eternal rest on Sept. 12, 2023. She loved her family dearly, enjoyed spending time at the beach and boating. As a master floral designer, she realized her dream of opening Oops A Daisy Flowers & Gifts with her husband, Roger. She would often refer to her work as “poking posies.” Plants and flowers enriched her life as she was able to enrich ours.
She is survived by her loving husband, Roger and children, Emily, Willow, Maegan and Zack; mother, Dee Hood; sister, Cyndi Etzler (Bruce); fur babies, Mich and Marti; many cousins, family and lifelong friends. She was preceded in death by her father, Emory Hood, and stepfather, Chris Peattie. We love you, we miss you, and you will live on in our hearts forever.
A celebration of life was held Sept. 17 at the Firehouse Cultural Center in Ruskin. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the C.A.R.E. animal shelter, 1528 27th St. SE, Ruskin, FL 33570.
