Beverly was born in Bingham, Maine, on March 20, 1931, the daughter of the late Fredrick and Florence (Whitten) Leary. She grew up in Boston, MA, one of eight children in a very close family. Beverly was very active in sports in high school, being the captain of her basketball team (she always said she invented the hook shot!) as well as playing softball. After high school, Beverly worked for the telephone company and shortly after she met the love of her life, Ronald, at Moseley’s on the Charles Ballroom. Beverly and Ronald went on to raise a family of 5, family was everything to them. Beverly wouldn’t hesitate to say hello to anyone. She had an outgoing, gregarious personality and beautiful smile, she was the one everyone gravitated to. Beverly and Ronald enjoyed being snowbirds of Winter Haven Florida for 25 years.
