MoDean grew up on the Zimmerman family farm in Kidder County. As the eldest daughter, she helped her mother with meals, housework and caring for the rest of her siblings. She attended school in Napoleon and graduated from Napoleon High in 1971. She attended Mary College, Bismarck, and graduated in 1975 with a B.S. degree in elementary education.
