She started her working career in the office at Schwartzburg Motors and continued a career in bookkeeping until her retirement. Grace was a longtime member of the Rhinelander Newcomers Club, enjoyed crafting holiday decorations, knitting and needlepoint and creating her own greeting cards with personal verses for all occasions.
