Beverly Mae George was born November 20, 1946 in Trenton, Missouri to William H. Coon and Erma Gene Coon. Her parents raised her in Spickard, MO with her brother, William Gene Coon. Beverly graduated from Spickard High School in 1965.

Beverly was united in marriage to Donald Shockey George on October 13, 1962 in Chillicothe, Missouri. In 1965 they moved to Jefferson, IA where she was an active member of the First Baptist Church. Beverly was a homemaker until the late 1970's. Beverly held various jobs in Jefferson but then settled into a job at Unger Insurance for about 15 years where she retired in 1994.

Then in 2004, when Don retired, they moved back to Princeton, MO to live on the family farm. They enjoyed planting flowers, gardening and the wildlife on the farm. Beverly was a member of the Princeton First Baptist Church. In the summer of 2015 she sold the family farm and moved to Altoona, IA to be closer to her children.
