Heather attained a degree in massage therapy in 2002 from Metro Business College in Jefferson City, MO. She enjoyed doing for others, regardless of what it was. Heather loved her daughter Kendra, her brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, and all of her nieces and nephews so much. There's nothing in the world she wouldn't do for any of them. Heather liked cooking, fishing, kayaking, camping, and mushroom hunting with her brother and Dad. She enjoyed spending time with her family, doing crafts, watching scary movies, and was always the life of the party.

She was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Oliver James and Byrdia Lee Hughes; Paternal grandparents, Roy Adams and Mildred Faye Belt; a niece RaBeka Phillips and a nephew Blaze Austin Belt; and an aunt Debra Adkinson.
