She was born in Richfield, Minnesota and grew up in a family of collegiate basketball players. Her father, Gary King, played at the University of Nebraska at Kearney. Her brother, Stephen, played at Ohio University.
From 1994 to 2000, she attended the Academy of Holy Angels, a Catholic coeducational high school in Richfield, Minnesota, where she became the first and only 7th grader in school history to play on the varsity girls' basketball team.
From 2000 to 2005, she played the point guard position on the women's team at Stanford University.
During her freshman season, she injured the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in her right knee, and missed the final 21 games of the year.

Eventually, they married in August 2003.
After graduating, Curtis joined the Utah Jazz of the National Basketball Association (NBA) while Susan spent her senior year at Stanford.
