Her father was a physician and surgeon in Gypsum, Kansas, where the family lived, and where Vera received her primary and secondary education. She was graduated with a degree in Home Economics from Kansas State College in 1914. It was here that she met William Raymond Jones of Liberal, Kansas, and after their marriage on May 4, 1915, he decided to go on to medical school, and graduated from the University of Louisville, Kentucky.
