It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Frances Pace Grasby, lovingly known as Pace. A life-long resident of Little Rock, Arkansas, Pace spent her formative years attending Saint Edward's Catholic School and later Mount Saint Mary's Academy, laying the foundation for a life well-lived.

Family always came first for Pace, and her devotion was evident in her relationships. She found joy in the simple pleasures of life, whether it was tending to her beloved dogs, nurturing her garden, exploring new destinations, or showcasing her culinary talents in the kitchen.

Pace dedicated 17 years to the child support division of the Pulaski County Courthouse. Upon her retirement, she left a legacy of love and warmth. Pace was a cherished member of her office, adored by colleagues and esteemed by all who sought her guidance.

Pace is survived by her loving husband, Richard Grasby, her son Andrew Struthers (Ashley), daughter Katie Wirges (Tracey), and her cherished grandchildren Rachel Struthers, Spencer Struthers, and Lincoln Wirges. She is also remembered by her mother, Glenna Penny, her brothers Mark, Doug, Guy, Bruce and David Penny, and her sister Teresa Penny. Pace is preceded in death by her father, John Penny, her sister Mary Penny, and her brother Joseph Penny.

Pace's vibrant spirit will be missed by numerous friends and extended family. As per her wishes, Pace was cremated. She had a New Orleans-style funeral with a full band lead by Steve Struthers and parade in Downtown Little Rock to celebrate her rich and joyful life. May Pace rest in peace, leaving behind beautiful memories etched in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
