Vera was raised in Henderson, Iowa. She attended school in Henderson, and following graduation worked for a short period as a housekeeper. Vera was united in marriage to Elvin F. Bullington at Tarkio, Missouri, and they made their home near Climax in West Township of Montgomery County, Iowa. Vera was a hard working farmwife, helping with all aspects of chores and farming. She was very involved with her children, especially helping them with their 4-H projects, as her family and farm was very important to her.

In the early 1980's, Vera and Elvin retired from farming and made their home in Red Oak. The past five years, Vera has lived in Omaha, Nebraska.
