Beverly was born on April 14, 1936 to William Elton and Ella Maude “Carol” (Roberts) Woods in Nevada, MO. She was a gifted musician and could play most instruments. She could not read music but could play a song after only hearing it one time. Beverly was an excellent cook and never followed a recipe but could time a large meal with precision. She retired from Holmes Freight Line and tested her entrepreneurial skills by opening a tanning salon, Tan-Talizer. She spent most of her life helping people.
