What is the name of Dolores Claiborne's employer?

What is the name of Dolores Claiborne's employer? Vera Donovan is the answer.

In Stephen King's 1992 novel, Dolores works for Vera Donovan, a wealthy woman who owns a summer home on Little Tall Island, Maine. Dolores first joins the household as a maid and eventually becomes Vera's housekeeper. Vera is demanding, exacting, and accustomed to controlling every detail of her domestic life.

The novel opens with Dolores suspected of murdering Vera, whose death brings Dolores before the local authorities. The story is presented as Dolores's long, uninterrupted statement, during which she explains her relationship with Vera and also confesses to arranging the death of her abusive husband, Joe St. George. That structure can make the question easy to mix up with the title character herself: Dolores is the narrator, while Vera is the employer.

Vera's backstory also connects the island household to a broader tragedy. She and her husband bought their Little Tall summer home in 1949, and after his death in a 1960 car crash, Vera increasingly made the island her permanent home.
