Beverly Howard was born in 2324 to Paul and Isabel Howard in Copernicus City, Luna. Her mother died while Beverly was young, and she grew up with her grandmother on the Arvada III colony. She married Jack Crusher in 2348 and gave birth to his son Wesley Crusher the following year. Her husband died on an away mission in 2354, and it took her a long time to recover. There has always been a hint of some kind of attraction between her and Jean-Luc Picard, but the two never brought it up until it was forced into the open by a device implanted in the two by an alien species that allowed them to read each other's thoughts in the episode " Attached ".

In 2365, Dr. Crusher left the Enterprise in order to become the head of Starfleet Medical, being replaced on the Enterprise by Dr. Katherine Pulaski. A year later, Dr. Crusher returned to the Enterprise, and Pulaski left.
