Educated at the University of California and Columbia University. Grace published some works on the Washo Tribe. There is a Grace Dangberg Foundation, Inc., in Carson City NV which was established in 1982 by Grace. Grace, in her own quiet and determined way, made as much of an impact on the Carson Valley as did her German grandfather who pioneered the area in 1856; in her lifetime she was many things – teacher, research specialist, rancher, author, and, always, a scholar; her love of her native Carson Valley, coupled with her acute, awareness of the vital role played by the valley in the history of Nevada, led her to collect and catalogue much of the area's interesting history. She did this by painstaking research of old documents, county records, legal papers, newspapers, and by personal interviews with the descendants of Valley pioneers and of the Washoe Indians.
