Dezaray was born and raised in Mattoon, Illinois, and moved to the Springfield area to complete her degree in Early Childhood Education where she was the director of a childcare program for many years. The Brookshire family has lived in the Mt. Pulaski School District since 2017 where Rhett attends kindergarten.
