Beverly was born on a family farm near Anderson July 18, 1929, to Walter L. Martin and Dorothy (McCain) Martin.

She was employed at Leacox Redfield Drug Store before her marriage to LaMott E. Klepinger Aug. 6, 1950, at the United Methodist Church in Shenandoah.

Beverly and LaMott moved to a family farm northeast of Essex, which became a Century Farm in 2000, and lived there for the remainder of their lives.  She was a member of the Climax United Methodist Church.
