Beverly was born December 28, 1931, in Teton City, Idaho to parents Thomas E. Baker and Genevieve Rhodes Baker. Her childhood was spent on the family farm in Moody and in Rexburg, Idaho.

After returning from her mission, she returned to BYU and graduated with a degree in Business Education. She taught high school in Salt Lake City for a few years and then moved to Anchorage, Alaska to teach high school. In Anchorage, Beverly met the love of her life, Billy Leon Green, an airman in the US Air Force. Beverly and Billy were married in Rexburg in 1964. For the next several years they moved all around the United States and to Japan with the Air Force. Their first child, Lori, was born in Anchorage and later their only son, Tom, was born in New Jersey, and their last child, Kristi, was born in Okinawa, Japan. Beverly adored her children and continued to teach elementary school wherever they moved. After Billy retired from the Air Force, Beverly and Billy moved their family to Rexburg, Idaho. Beverly continued her teaching career as a beloved 2nd grade teacher at Kennedy for several more years until retirement.
Beverly was a compassionate and fun mother. She loved her students, too, and worked tirelessly for them. She loved to read, excelled at cooking and baking, grew beautiful flowers every summer, and loved doting on her grandchildren. After their children grew up, Beverly and Billy took long motorcycle trips on their Goldwing Motorcycle with a group of dear friends and enjoyed seeing much of the western United States and Canada. Beverly devoted many hours in service to her church callings. She and Billy served two service missions after their retirement.
