Vera trained as a teacher and was involved in that profession for about 35 years, initially as a teacher and later in the role of visiting teacher - she pioneered the Service in Otago. Vera's life long interest in children, their education and the plight of teachers is reflected by her involvement in a variety of organisation from the NZEI to establishing a children's clinic while servicing on the Dunedin Hospital Board. Vera's community service has extended to many other areas including contributing much time and energy to the war effort during WWII and many years spent on the Dunedin Hospital Board. In 1956 Vera was awarded an MBE. After her parents died Vera shifted to North East Valley and then to her home in George Street. She continues to take an active interest in the community and community issues.
