Veronica "Vera" Duckworth (née Burton) was a Coronation Street resident from 1983 to 2008. She was married to Jack Duckworth for fifty years and was mother of Terry. Vera had a big mouth and a fiery temper. She and Jack were both workshy and were often looked on by their neighbours as scroungers; when they moved into 9 Coronation Street in 1983 people thought they lowered the tone. On the surface, Vera and Jack appeared a very unstable couple - they rowed (often in public), they were both unfaithful, they lied to and manipulated each other, they didn't seem to enjoy each other's company, and yet their marriage stood the test of time as deep down they did love each other.

abstract	Veronica "Vera" Duckworth (née Burton) was a Coronation Street resident from 1983 to 2008. She was married to Jack Duckworth for fifty years and was mother of Terry. Vera had a big mouth and a fiery temper. She and Jack were both workshy and were often looked on by their neighbours as scroungers; when they moved into 9 Coronation Street in 1983 people thought they lowered the tone. On the surface, Vera and Jack appeared a very unstable couple - they rowed (often in public), they were both unfaithful, they lied to and manipulated each other, they didn't seem to enjoy each other's company, and yet their marriage stood the test of time as deep down they did love each other. Vera first appeared in the Street in 1974 when she worked at the Mark Brittain mail order warehouse. She later worked at factory Baldwin's Casuals from 1976 until its demolition in 1989, upon which she took a job at supermarket Bettabuy. Vera was always on the lookout for ways to improve her lifestyle, although others found her tastes questionable; in 1989 she had No.9 stone-clad, but Jack agreed with most of the neighbours that it was hideous. In 1995, she realised her dream of becoming a respected member of the community when she became the licensee of the Rovers Return Inn. She and Jack served as landlords until 1998 when their partner Alec Gilroy bought them out. Vera had several more low-paid jobs until her retirement in 2007, her latter being a waitress at Roy's Rolls . Vera was protective of her family, this extending to Jack, whatever his misdeeds, and their wayward son Terry. Terry was always out for money and didn't care who he hurt, but Vera hoped that he would settle down and make her proud, even after his stint in prison for GBH. When he sold his son Tommy to Tommy's recently deceased mother Lisa's parents for £10,000, Vera finally conceded that no good would come of Terry - although her hopes would be raised every time he re-entered her life, only for Vera to be let down again. The Duckworths were planning a retirement to Blackpool in 2008 but Vera died from heart failure in January.
