Born 10-25-93 to parents Rick and Brenda Hood in Ada Oklahoma. Heather has three kids Stormie Shaelyinn, Terrance Ray and Ruger Bowen. Heather grew up in a small town called McLoud. She spent her childhood playing softball competitively, watching her brother play even more competitive baseball and spending weekends/breaks with her great grandparents. Heather has learned a lot over the years to mold her into the woman she is today. She is stubborn, goofy and clumsy.
