She grew up in Weimar, CA where her father provided for the family by being a gold miner, hunting guide & hog farmer to name a few of his many endeavors. The Hulbert family were natives of Auburn and settled here in 1863.
She went to elementary school at Placer Hills and completed one year of high school at Placer High before being transferred to the new Colfax High School when it was first built.

They were very active in the Auburn A Club & the Mother Lode Model T Club where they did many tours over the years. They were also active in the Historical Society of Placer County. They enjoyed collecting antiques and obtained quite a collection that they set up in a personal museum. She loved to garden and was especially proud of her large yard and flowers. She was also very interested in genealogy and researched her family roots back to 1220 AD. She loved tracking down and meeting new distant relatives that she had found while doing her research.
She is survived by her husband Vern Marriott, daughter Suzie Pierroz, son Ken Marriott, daughter in law Olivia, grandchildren Levi & Maya all of Auburn, CA and sister Evie Harley of Fallon, NV. A memorial service will be held at a future date.
