She married Collins DeWitt Smith on January 14, 1937, in the Salt Lake Temple. They lived in Kaysville most of their married lives where they raised five sons.

Grace also served as a family history specialist for many years before genealogical records were computerized. In later life, she delighted in traveling, and visited many parts of the world.
