Bev grew up in Crookston, Nebraska and attended Valentine High School until her junior year. She then went to Lincoln Northeast High School and graduated in 1967.

Bev was truly one in a million. She loved everybody and didn't think of anyone as a stranger. She was a spunky woman who was always down to dance. Her smile was contagious and she loved spending time with her family. Bev put a lot of love into her cooking and everyone would say that she's the best cook. She welcomed anyone into her home.
