Lyn was born to Myona and Robert Fisher on June 3, 1938 in Oak Park, Illinois. Lyn attended Principia College after graduating high school. She then began working in administrative and bookkeeping roles.


In 1974 Lyn married Phil Wray in Oak Park, Illinois. They celebrated 47 years of marriage in 2021. In 1976 Phil and Lyn relocated to Phil's hometown of Crawfordsville, IN to run the Redwood Inn. They owned and operated the family restaurant until it closed in 1997.


Lyn had a deep faith in God. She served administratively in five Christian Scientist churches and often joined Phil in singing in the choir at First United Methodist Church Crawfordsville, where Phil is a member.


Phil and Lyn lovingly cared for 10 dogs throughout their marriage, 7 of which were rescues. She could often be seen walking their dogs on the west side of Crawfordsville. For several years, she participated in city committee and council meetings. Lyn enjoyed black coffee, trips to Florida with Phil, and driving fast, red cars.
