Sister Jolene Clayson Pace, the widow of Elder Glenn L. Pace, an emeritus General Authority Seventy, died on Thursday, July 23, 2026, in Farmington, Utah, surrounded by her six children. She was 83.

Sister Pace served faithfully in numerous callings across a variety of organizations, including alongside her husband as leaders of the Australia Sydney North Mission. She also supported her husband in his general Church assignments — as a counselor in the Presiding Bishopric from 1985 to 1992, as a General Authority Seventy from 1992 to 2010 and as a counselor in the Sunday School and Young Men general presidencies.

Her obituary states that as a lifelong disciple of Jesus Christ, her life was defined by a singular mission: “Helping God’s children return to Him.”
