Coming from Ardmore, OK, at an early age, Bevelyin grew up at Walters, OK, graduating from WHS in 1965. She met and eventually married Charles Joseph Meyer on August 1, 1970 at Saint Patrick Catholic Church. They lived in Walters for a year then moved to Temple, eventually building a house in 1975. The family moved to the Temple Lake house in 1985 as Charles managed the water treatment plant. They returned to their home in town upon his retirement in 2022. Through the years Bevelyin worked at Haggar’s, owned an upholstery shop called Temple Upholstery, and finished her career with Temple Utilities as a billing clerk.

Bevelyin was a member of Saint Patrick Catholic Church. She enjoyed sewing, reading, and working in her flowerbeds. She loved spending time visiting her family and just driving around with Charles. When recently asked what her favorite time period in life has been, she responded, “This part, because I get to spend so much time with him (Charles).”
