Her early years were spent as a homemaker. She spent hours in her kitchen cooking good food, and as a PTA president for Harrison Park Elementary School. The door to her home near Richmond Park was always open and she welcomed any and all. In later years, she became a school bus driver for Grand Rapids Public Schools, giving years of service before retirement. Grace has also been an active member of Trinity Reformed Church until her later years when health issues handicapped her activity. Grace's kindness and caring touched many lives.
