Wetzel was born to Ross and Janice Wetzel and had a sister Susan and a brother Rick. Her parents brought her to a swimming club as a child to quench her hyperactivity. She later studied at the University of New Mexico on an athletic scholarship. There she met Erik Hansen, married him in 1976, and had two sons Whitney and Casey Hansen. She married second time in 2011, to Mike Davis. She died four years later from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
