Beverly was educated in the District of Columbia Public School System.

Beverly was a fast learner and because of this, she advanced quickly within the ranks of the government. After 34 years of dedicated service, Beverly retired from the government.

Retirement didn't stop Beverly. During years of retirement, Beverly enjoyed traveling and going to car shows. Beverly was a faithful member of the Lake Anna Cruizers and Oldsmobile of America, where she won numerous trophies for her 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Convertible and 1975 Corvette Stingray Convertible.
