Beverley Huntington Rogers was born in Shanghai, China in 1929. Prior to the invasion of the city, she moved with her parents to Canada, to the property of her mother's family in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. There she attended a one-room school, and later graduated from Netherwood School for Girls and Dalhousie University, where she met her future husband, Douglas Rogers. He became a professor of Physics at the Royal Military College. Their three children were raised in Kingston, where she also obtained an MSc from Queen's University.
