Storey was born on April 20, 1918, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Her father, William Storey, was a forest ranger; her mother was Lareta Storey. Her acting interests were evident early when, as a little girl, she put on shows in her family's backyard. Her family moved to Tyler Lake, Connecticut, when she was five years old. She had a sister, Maxine, who became a "noted motion picture magazine feature writer." After living in Connecticut and Long Island, New York, in 1930, her family moved to Southern California, where she attended Laguna Beach High School. She gained acting experience with the Laguna Beach Little Theater. Her first appearance on film was an uncredited role as a student in Student Tour (1933).

Storey married businessman Fred Bohling. In 1947, they purchased a 450-acre ranch on the Rogue River in Oregon and had one son, Eric. In 1950, Storey was involved in a near-fatal auto accident involving a logging truck. She later recalled, "Through the care and inspiration I received from the doctors and nurses, I fully recovered. I grew quite a bit spiritually during this ordeal and developed a deep sense of commitment to help others." After she and Bohling divorced, Storey married her second husband, Nick Ostreyko. This marriage produced a daughter, Marina, but the marriage also ended in divorce. Storey returned to California where she worked at a doctor's office in Laguna Beach, and later at a nursing home. After received her nursing degree, she became the nurse to the wife of engineer Lincoln Clark for ten years. In 1979, Storey married Lincoln Clark after his wife's death. She became a United States citizen, and devoted much of the remainder of her life to works of charity. During the 1980s, Storey attended several western film festivals. "It's a real tribute to the fans," she once observed, "who maintain an interest in this part of Americana. I'm happy I was part of it."

Storey died of cancer on December 18, 1991, in Vista, California, at the age of 73. She was buried in Pacific View Memorial Park in Corona del Mar.
