Marie-Rose Dressay was born as Marie-Rose Carone in Sete, Herault, Occitanie, France on 1 August 1911. Her son told: "She had a difficult childhood. Her father was absent. But she always has been satisfied of her life. She moved to Parisian region with her mother and her brother between the two wars."
Dressay began to work at age 14, after having obtained her primary school certificate. She worked as a secretary and bookkeeper for several companies. After World War II, she spent 25 years working for the National Office for Veterans and Victims of War.
