Beverley was born in Clark County to Elsie (Karsten) and Franklin J. Kraut. She graduated from Owen High School in 1954 and went on to join the United States Air Force. She returned to the Curtiss area to study nurses training in Marshfield and then continued her education at Madison Business College, graduating in 1961.
