Sally was born near Mt. Carmel, ND to Leo and Rosetta (Perius) Metzger. Her family moved to Walhalla in 1932 where she graduated in 1946. She attended Mayville Teachers’ College.

Sally married Norbert (Norby) Ault in 1948. In the mid 50s, they moved to California.

She held a variety of retail/restaurant experiences from working at Salaba Drug in Cavalier to Herbergers in Minot. She always said working in the potato house was the most fun.

She was very proud to say that she received all of her sacraments from St. Boniface Catholic Church in Walhalla, with the exception of her Baptism which took place in Mt. Carmel.
