Vera was born in Sindi, Estonia. She was the youngest of 12 children – 6 boys and 6 girls. In 1933 she and two of her sisters immigrated to America where a brother and a sister were already living in New York. A couple of years later Vera met and married Raymond Kallas. The marriage lasted for over 50+ years until Raymond's death in 1987. They had four children – Gloria, Raymond, Dennis and Robert. She had nine grandchildren, three great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild who she got to meet shortly before her death. She was an avid cruiser and enjoyed over 40+ cruises during her lifetime. Her favorite activity, however, was being surrounded by all of her family.
