Stella Dickerson
The sister of author Rhonda Hanson, Stella Dickerson was born and raised in rural Louisiana by her own musical family. It was not until she became a member of the Mississippi-based Dickerson family, after falling in love with Ed Dickerson, that she became infatuated with the fiddle, the guitar, and many other instruments, and discovered the simple joy that gathering with loved ones for an evening of playing music just for the love of it could bring. Although Stella now makes her home in Heaven, she still listens to music for the sheer joy of it and, for now, we can only imagine what something like that sounds and feels like.
