Born in Mohegan Lake, New York, Zora Lynn began honoring her teaching skills at the age of eight, when stuffed animals were her pupils and her bedroom wall was the chalkboard. As she grew older, instead of "playing house", she ''taught school'' to neighborhood friends.

She then became a supervisor of a day camp where putting fun into teach was her number one mission.
Her parents were always strong advocates of her teaching career, as is her husband, Raymond, a retired police officer from Indiana, who currently heads security at Tropicana in Fort Pierce Florida. Raymond states that:
''She always gives a 110% and then some. The children always comes first''.
