We are heartbroken today as we announce the unexpected death of this beautiful soul, our outstanding Deputy Sheriff Terra McKinnon #6224. During a long and courageous battle against breast cancer, she succumbed to illness that attacked while her immune system was compromised. She was 45 years old. Deputy McKinnon made the commitment to serve her community in 2006 when she became a deputy sheriff. She became a street training instructor and leaves behind a legacy of well-trained and highly motivated public servants. Ultimately she became a community oriented policing deputy and served the last several years assigned to the Dundee Sheriff's Station. We know the people of Dundee grew to love her as much as we did. Please keep Deputy McKinnon's family and her brothers and sisters in green in your prayers. We already miss her -- her ever-present smile, her selfless service, and her commitment to our agency and our citizens. We are so grateful we had her for nearly 20 years. Rest in peace, 6224. We love you. #PolkSheriff #6224 #TerraMcKinnon
