Born at Elmore on Harts Neck in St. George on December 12, 1917, she was the daughter of Captain Stuart T., Sr., and Mary Baum Ames. Growing up in Rockland, she attended local schools and was a 1936 graduate of Rockland High School. She also attended Ballard Business School. As a youth she always looked forward to spending summers with her grandparents on Matinicus. During the late 1930s Vera worked as a bookkeeper with J.J. Newbury. On June 2, 1940 she married Charles Webster Carver in Rockland. The couple lived in Rockland all their married lives. In 1949 they moved to Vera's parent's home on Pacific Street where she lived until 1994. While in that home she was the primary caregiver for her mother-in-law for fourteen years. In 1994 she moved to North Shore Drive in Owls Head. Vera served two years as president of the South School Parent Teachers Association while her children attended the school. She also served several years as a Girl Scout leader. Always interested in Rockland's history and its waterfront, Vera had a great pride in, and love for, her hometown city. For a number of years she served as Registrar of Voters and as a member of the Urban Development Committee for the city. Her family said that their Pacific Street home was always open to anyone and although their mother made everyone abide by her strict rules, the house was always filled with neighborhood kids. She enjoyed hosting relatives and friends whether just over night or for an extended period. As well as being a devoted homemaker Vera was also an avid crafter. She was particularly accomplished in knitting and crocheting, but did all types of sewing, rug hooking and braiding. She knit sweaters for all of her family members and many of her friends. Her knitting expertise also found her helping with numerous knitting projects at Stitchery Square in Camden and assisting many friends with their knitting projects. It is reported she was so particular about the correctness of each stitch that she had been known to completely undo several nearly completed items just to fix a single incorrect stitch. Vera was always ready to go for a Sunday ride or anyplace at a moments notice. She also traveled to Texas, Florida, Hawaii and Scotland. Her son said that his mother had three main passions; playing cards, going anywhere, and finding out where the fire truck was going when she heard the fire horn. Vera was pre-deceased by her husband Charles who died September 5, 1979, and by two brothers, Herbert Baum, Sr. and Captain Stuart T. Ames, Jr. She is survived by one son, Richard A. Carver and his wife Lea of Owls Head; two daughters and their husbands Judith L. and Woodbury Post of Owls Head, Gayle M. and Terry Whiteley of Lindale, Texas; two sisters Eleanor Tyler and her husband Edwin of Searsmont, Elaine Gac of Tenants Harbor; six grandchildren, Larkin Post and his wife Sarah, Jacob Post and his companion Melissa Goeke, Kristopher Whiteley and his wife Chun, Shawn Whiteley and his wife Melissa, Charlie Carver, Christina Carver; two great-grandchildren, Abigayle Whiteley, Owen Post; as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins. Visiting hours will be held from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., Wednesday, October 17, 2007 at Burpee, Carpenter & Hutchins Funeral Home, 110 Limerock Street, Rockland, where a funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m., Thursday.
