Funeral planned for Minnesota state trooper who drowned in South Dakota
Funeral services for Minnesota State Patrol trooper Mollie McClure will be held Tuesday in Jackson, Minn.
McClure, 33, of St. Joseph, Minn., drowned Sunday on Waubay Lake in northeastern South Dakota.
Her funeral will be at 11 a.m. Tuesday at the Jackson County Central School gymnasium, according to her obituary from Turner Jenness Family Funeral Homes in the southwestern Minnesota community. Visitation will be from 4 to 7 p.m. Monday at the school gym.
McClure was in a boat on Waubay Lake in the early evening hours of June 29 when she went into the water for a swim, according to Day County (S.D.) Sheriff Jerred Schreur. An investigation determined that she did not surface. Her body was recovered Monday morning.
McClure was born on June 10, 1992, in Worthington, Minn., according to her obituary.
McClure graduated in 2010 from Jackson County Central High School, according to the Worthington Daily Globe. She attended the University of Minnesota, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in physiology with a minor in Spanish studies.
McClure joined the State Patrol in October 2021 and was assigned to the St. Cloud district, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.
She was “a respected trooper, mentor, and friend. Her professionalism, compassion, and commitment to service left a lasting impact on her colleagues and the community,” according to the agency.
In 2023, a video of her rescuing a baby deer trapped in a roadside fence went viral on YouTube.
Families in South Dakota work hard. We sacrifice a lot and ask very little from the people who govern us. We expect honesty, careful budgeting, and leadership that puts our interests above politics.
In his recent budget address, our governor painted an incomplete picture. He celebrated good results but did not explain what and who made those results possible. South Dakotans deserve more than selective storytelling. We deserve the truth.
