Vera Daerr Buchanan (July 20, 1902 – November 26, 1955) was a Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Pennsylvania from 1951 to 1955. She was the first female member of the U.S. Congress to ever die while holding office, and she and her husband, who had also died in office, were the first congressional wife and husband to both die while still in office.
Born Vera Daerr in Wilson, Pennsylvania (later part of Clairton), she was a student of the public and parochial schools in Duquesne, Pennsylvania during her formative years, graduating from high school there. She went on to secure employment as a secretary for that community's steel mill. She married automobile dealer and teacher Frank Buchanan in 1929.
