Beverly was born on May 23, 1946, in Amenia, ND to Robert “Bob” and Betty (Lockett) Hill. She grew up in Amenia and graduated from Amenia High School in 1964.

On January 9, 1970, Bev married Curt Askelson. They moved to Moorhead for a time before making their home in Glyndon. Bev stayed home to raise their son, James before going to work at the school in Glyndon. She later worked at Bargains in Dilworth before spending several years at Integrity Windows in Fargo. Later she worked at The Doller General in Glyndon. 

Bev enjoyed being outside tending to her vegetable and flower gardens. She loved spending time with family on Lake Ida in Minnesota. In the winters you could find her hunkered inside working on a challenging 1,000-piece puzzle.
