Vera was the second daughter of the composer's sister Aleksandra (b. Tchaikovskaia, 1842–1891) and her husband Lev Davydov (1837–1896).
In November 1881 she married Nikolai Aleksandrovich Rimskii-Korsakov (1852–1908) [no relation to the composer Nikolai Andreevich Rimskii-Korsakov], and they had two children—Irina and Aleksandra.
After her death in 1888, her widower Nikolai subsequently married Vera L'vovna's sister, Natal'ia (1868–1956).
