Dersette graduated from Alston High School Class of 1957 and at an early age accepted Jesus Christ as her personal savior and joined Baum Temple AME Zion Church. She has been spiritually anchored in the Lord and worked out her Soul Salvation in a Ministry of Music.
Dersette showed at an early age her gift in music by the direction of Jordan and Alma Simmons, her grandparents. At the age of 7, she started playing for Sunday School and Sunday Worship Service under the tutelage of the late Alethia Wright. This opportunity had her prepared for participating in the Choral Club and playing the saxophone in Marching Band at dear old Alston High School.

Dersette Corine Richardson was like a songbird who witnessed in song and deed which helped to inspire and encourage many. She used music, which is the universal language to heal the world around her.
