Personal life
Mamah Dedeh was born in Ciamis as the daughter of Sujai and Syarifuddin.[1] At the age of 17, she was sent to Jakarta by her father to study Islam at the Universitas Islam Negeri Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, despite her aspiration to become a painter.[1] In 1994, the actor Benyamin Sueb asked her to do a radio program. It was at that time when she got the name "Mamah Dedeh" because she raised foster children.[1] In 1970, she married Syarifuddin and has 4 children.[1]
