Luray grew up in Baltimore and attended Patterson Park where she graduated in 1951. She was a member of the radio club and played both basketball and softball. She was an avid fan of both the Orioles and the Colts, and eventually the Ravens. Luray was a gifted crafter and baker. She taught ceramics for years and crocheting blankets for each new family member was a special joy. She was also a charter member of the Our Redeemer/Rejoice Fellowship congregation and was active in the outreach ministry. One of her favorite activities was to be surrounded by family around a table piled high with steamed crabs.
