She was educated in the Livermore school system and graduated in the class of 1951.

On Feb. 2, 1952, she married David Capen Jr and they remained married for 64 years until David’s passing in 2016. They were parents to seven children and Beverly was a homemaker and stay at home Mom. She worked later in life at Brettuns Variety in Livermore and enjoyed that time immensely.

Beverly has made a full circle and will be placed to rest at Waters Hill where she was born and spent most of her childhood.
