Beverly was born in East Chicago and grew up in Marktown, living most of her life in Hammond. After high school she took part in a nursing program that was signed into law by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1943 that allowed young women to join the Cadet Nurse Corps. She trained under physicians and the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ Sisters of Saint Catherine Hospital in East Chicago and in 1947, received her R.N. degree. As a nurse she served many. Her most cherished job was working in the nursery at St. Catherine Hospital. In later years she worked as an industrial nurse at GATX and then as the nurse at L.C.A.R.

Beverly was an extremely strong and independent woman who was deeply devoted to her Catholic faith. Her rosary was always at her side. Being a very health conscious woman, she worked out at the gym well into her eighties. She loved to bake and was especially known for her holiday nutroll that was loved by all. She had a special fondness for chocolate, treating herself to a little bit almost every day. Beverly was clever, intelligent and had a great sense of humor. She was loved by all and will be forever in our hearts.
