Connie Bakker, daughter of Cornelius and Arlene (Brands) Bakker, was born November 24, 1972, in Huron. She attended school in Valley Springs through 6th grade and graduated from Brandon High School in 1990. She was united in marriage to Michael McDougall on December 29, 2011. They made their home in Las Cruces, N.M. until moving back to Sioux Falls to care for their granddaughter.
