Donald Clyde Pace was born to William Wilson Pace (1857-1931) and Catherine (Rankin) Pace (1860-1950) in Nutrioso, Arizona on January 21, 1896. After serving in World War I, Pace settled in Safford, Arizona where he owned a hardware store and chaired the Graham County American Red Cross in the 1930s. During the 1950s, he chaired the Graham Democratic Central Committee for two terms. Pace's interest in history led to his involvement with the Arizona Historical Society and his work with the Arizona Historical Advisory Committee. He was also involved with the Safford Rotary Club, the American Legion, and the Elks Club.
Don Pace married Carlotta Hayes (1896-1998) in Los Angeles, California on August 23, 1921 and the couple had one daughter, Anna Deane (Pace) Millett (1922-2019). Carlotta Pace taught school in Kekaha on the island of Kauai prior to her marriage and went on to involve herself with the Safford PTA, the Safford Women's Club, and the Arizona Federation of Women's Clubs. Don Pace died in Safford on November 11, 1987.
