Grace was born on February 22, 1917 to William V. Parmley and Alice Florence Larson in Salt Lake City, Utah. Her father died when she was just three years old. Her mother later married Whitmer (Whit) Andrew Rosquist, who was a very kind and loving step-father.
She married her sweetheart and eternal companion, Clifford Sanders Berg, in the Salt Lake Temple on February 20, 1939. They are the parents of eight children - four daughters and four sons. Her family was always her first priority. She made sure they were all well taken care of.
Grace had a wonderful sense of humor and was very generous to others. She was a hard worker and taught her children the value of hard work. She was very meticulous and always insisted on a clean and orderly home. The phrase "Cleanliness is next to Godliness" fit her perfectly.
She was known for her cooking and candy making abilities. There are many who have fond memories of her delicious meals.
She cherished her family and spent many, many hours crocheting afghans for each child, their spouses, her grandchildren and close friends.
Her life was one of service and she loved doing it! Serving others brought her great joy and satisfaction. She was especially fond of serving the elderly.
Grace loved her grandchildren and enjoyed having them around her. She spent a lot of time babysitting.
In her youth, Grace loved to play tennis and enjoyed dancing.
Grace is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served faithfully in numerous stake and ward callings.
She was a beautician for many years. She also managed Paul's Par 3, a golf course in Hunter, Utah, for a number of years. Later, she and her husband owned and operated the Burger Bandit Drive-In in Kearns, Utah.

(LeVon) Berg, Monroe, WA; Gerald (Maggie) Berg; Randy (Judy) Berg; Kathy (Jack) Grotepas; Arnie (Bobbie) Berg; Lynnette(John) Hiskey; Kris (Bob) Kvenvold; 29 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren; brothers Robert (Bob) Parmley, LaMar Rosquist and sister Beth Paschall.
