Beverly was born February 9, 1929 in Arco, ID to Rufus & Eva (Hohn) Searle. She grew up on the family farm in Arco and following high school attended Linfield College in Oregon for several years. Beverly moved back to southern Idaho and began teaching school in Gooding, ID until returning to Arco where she married James A. Williams on June 13, 1954. They made their home in southeastern, Idaho settling in Blackfoot, ID where Beverly raised her family. After the children were older, she went back to school, receiving her bachelor's degree in education from Idaho State University in Pocatello, ID. Beverly taught school at the Fort Hall Indian Reservation and later for the Blackfoot school district until her retirement. Beverly moved to Pullman to live with her daughter Mary in 2016. She also lived part time with Louise in Colorado. She enjoyed the time she got to spend with her family. She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother who always looked out for her family. Beverly was a lifelong member of the First Baptist Church and participated in choir, women's ministry, and was a deaconess. She loved to sew, especially doll clothes, baking, and making her delicious raspberry ice cream and pie. Beverly was famous for her Christmas goodies. She was a member of the Idaho Education Associations teacher's union.
