Beryl grew up in New Orleans, LA. She trained for four years at Hotel-Dieu Hospital in New Orleans, becoming a Registered Nurse in 1952. She met her husband, Nicholas Levchik, at Keesler AFB and they were married in Biloxi, Mississippi, in November 1952. She served around the world, including Germany and Spain, and stateside in Pennsylvania, Colorado and Alabama, as she supported her husband during his diverse military assignments in the Army Air Corps and Air Force.
