Beverley graduated from Magee High School and became a lifelong educator.

She then moved to the Langley area, continuing to teach, where she met and married her husband Gerry in 1954. Son Mark was born in Hope, and the other 3 boys were born in Murrayville.

Beverley also taught at Tynehead, Clayton, and East Clayton, making friendships and impacting many students, her fellow teachers and administrators, through the years, with her work, before retiring in 1987. She had many life long friends outside of teaching, which included the minor Hockey associations of North Surrey, Cloverdale, and mutual friends with Gerry from her early days when they first met. She loved her home on the farm in Port Kells and spending time at their cabin on Murphy Lake in the Cariboo.
