Roslyn was born June 20th, 1946 in Wyandotte, MI, to the late Ross E. McLean and Evelyn M. (Boie) McLean of Ypsilanti, MI. Roslyn grew up in Taylor Twp, Allen Park and Belleville, MI. She attended the Huron public schools, graduating in 1964 from Huron High School, Flat Rock, MI.

Soon afterwards, her family became members of the Wayne Free Methodist Church, Wayne, MI.
