Vera and her husband Hames were owners of a local business, Dwyer Instruments, starting in 1931. David Kibbe, who manages the trust has said, "I hope that part of the legacy is the recognition that we all can be like Vera Dwyer - that you don't have to have significant wealth for philanthropy to be part of your legacy. You only need to have a giving heart."
