Vera was born on Nov. 7, 1907, in Orleans, Neb., to Nels J. and Nellie Carroll Cheline, the eighth of nine children. She moved with her family to Buhl in 1909 when her father moved his cattle operation to Idaho in search of abundant feed on the newly opened Irrigation tract. Following graduation from Buhl High School in 1925, she attended Links Business College for six months and then clerked at the Golden Rule Department Store and kept books for Alquist Produce.
Vera and Paul W. Kearley were engaged on Thanksgiving Day in 1927, and were married on June 27, 1928. In St. Bridget Hall in Glenns Ferry.

Vera was an active member of St. Anthony's Catholic Church in Wendell, serving as organist for many years. She also belonged to the Alter Society, the Orchard Valley Grange, and the Pollyanna Club. Her Joy in life was helping those in need with a kind word or a batch of home-made cookies.
