Dedra was born in New York, on October 21, 1988 to William (Billy) King and Belinda (Susie) King. Her family moved to Colorado as a young girl and it remained home to her the remainder of her life. She attended Douglas County High School in Castle Rock, Colorado, as well as Eagle Academy, where she graduated from in 2007. As a younger child, Dedra was very talented and passionate about gymnastics and worked her way up competitively to a Level 9.

She also worked as a waitress at the Castle Rock Café, and was working hard towards a degree in Nursing at Arapahoe Community College.

She also loved anything outdoors: snowboarding, camping, hiking, and running 5k’s with her friends and Aubrey, and was an avid fan of the Denver Broncos.
