She was born Beverly Jean Sorenson to Hans and Ethelyn (Wing) Sorenson in Madison, WI.  She graduated from East High School.  She later met and married (eloped to Dubuque, IA) Farrell (Chris)Christenson.  Together they worked in the marine business, first at Mendota Marine, then Russell Marina and Skipper Buds, all located on Lake Mendota.  She then moved on to work at Suttle Press in Waunakee.  In later years, they sub-contracted with Wisconsin River Power Company on Castle Rock Lake in Adams County to manage a marina & campground.  Beverly always ran a tight ship.  Her bookkeeping and organizational skills were second to none.

Beverly enjoyed volunteering at the Adams Hospital & being a member of the hospital auxiliary, golfing and being a member of the Red Hat Ladies, flower gardening, as well as her many craft hobbies.

She was married for 67 years to her soulmate for life. They loved traveling together all over the United States, especially to the seashores.  She never tired of taking a ride and commenting on how beautiful the countryside was.   Upon full retirement they relocated to Sauk City to be near family.  She loved being close to her children and grandchildren, who she was so very proud of.
