Hood retired from full-time ministry in October 2016. Having led Renfrew North Parish Church for 37 years, she holds the record as the "longest-serving woman parish minister".[2]

Hood was to have been succeeded as moderator by Angus Morrison. On 18 March 2014 the Church of Scotland announced that Morrison had withdrawn his nomination on grounds of ill health.[8] On 2 April it was announced that she was to be succeeded by John Chalmers, the Principal Clerk to the General Assembly.
