Beverly was born on December 30, 1939, in Hamilton, Mont., to Clifford and Lucy (Eggers) Dye. She grew up in the mountains of Montana and Idaho.
Beverly treasured a time in her younger years spent living in a tent at a logging camp, riding the “Big Ditch” with her father. She was partially raised by her grandparents, Heinrick and Gussie Eggers. During her time with them, she found her love for God and her Country. Beverly grew up with the love for camping and fishing. She also loved to read, a trait that she passed on to her children and grandchildren.

After years of traveling, they settled down in Wanette, Okla., in 2004 near John’s brother, Jack, and their extended family.
