Beverly was born on October 14, 1935, in Platteville, Wisconsin, the daughter of LeRoy and Velma (VanNatta) Wehnke. She graduated from Platteville High School in 1953. Shortly after she married Roger C. Miles on November 14, 1953, at the United Methodist Church in Platteville. He preceded her in death on December 13, 2006. Beverly held a job from the age of 17; first at McCellan's Dime Store for three years, then at Virtue's Studios for 15 years, and finally at Farm and Fleet for 29 years before retiring. After retirement she worked part-time at Katie's Place, the Pointer Café, and babysat for her beloved great-nephews, Reise, Owen, and Eli Palzkill-Webb. She enjoyed dancing every Saturday night with her husband until his passing. She also enjoyed many hours of playing cards with friends and family. Some of her fondest memories were of family vacations and traveling. Holidays were always highlights in her life because of the time she could spend with her loved ones.

Words cannot express the sadness being felt by the loss of such a wonderful person and she will be truly missed.
