Lyn was born at Ft. Sill, OK, on January 6, 1941 to Harry Jenkins Hubbard, II, and Charlotte Nina (Hanson) Hubbard of El Paso, TX.

Lyn loved being an Army wife and was very active as such. Many people who knew Lyn and her husband said they were "The best husband-wife team in the Army". In addition to supporting her husband's work, she juggled and coordinated all of her children's many extracurricular activities and hobbies.

After retiring from the Army, they settled in Albuquerque, NM. Lyn joined the SONADO Women's Club and enjoyed being a member for many years. She was a member of St. Mark's Episcopal Church for 23 years.
