Naticia was born to Thomas Drew and Rose Marie Hutchinson on July 28, 1980, in Anaheim, California. She graduated from Vian High School in 1999 and was a member of the Mt.

She was a devoted mother to her three children and often told others that her children were her greatest accomplishment. She was their biggest fan at every school event and followed them through all their sporting events, including band. Naticia was her happiest when her family surrounded her.
