She grew up near Middleburg and attended a country school through the 8th grade before going on to Hull Western Christian High School where she graduated in 1952. She was united in marriage to Jerace Vande Griend on May 5, 1953. They were blessed with a family of six boys. They spent their years together living in the communities of Hull, Hospers, and Sioux Center, Iowa. Clarice was a cook at Western Christian and she and Jerace also had a carpet cleaning business for many years. Together, they performed custodial duties at First Christian Reformed Church in Hull.
