Cape Cod Times: “Linda Zuern, remembered as a staunch conservative, well-respected educator and friend to many in the town of Bourne, died on Friday due to complications of COVID-19. ‘This is one exceptional lady that touched so many lives, so many lives,’ said Mimi Frank, her good friend from Woods Hole. Zuern, 70, died at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston on Friday of severe complications caused by COVID-19, according to family members and friends. Zuern was brought from Cape Cod by MedFlight to the hospital in early June and had been in a coma on a ventilator until her death. She was not vaccinated against COVID-19, according to a close friend and one of her neighbors… On the political side, she was the president of the Chapter 9 Massachusetts Republican Assembly and was the vice president of the Bourne Republican Town Committee.”

“‘She was a strong woman who believed in speaking the truth and defending our freedoms in America,’ said Deborah Dugan, the Republican State Committeewoman who was at the bedside of Zuern when she died. ‘I would describe her to people as a little woman but a mighty warrior.’ Zuern was one of the first members of the United Cape Patriots, a local grassroots conservative group that frequently held Trump support standouts on the Bourne rotary, along with other rallies. She was often seen holding a Trump support poster as motorists drove by honking in support or against, said Adam Lange who founded the group in 2017. Lange was one of four people who protested last week in opposition to the state VaxBus program – which distributes COVID-19 vaccines – when it arrived in Provincetown.”
