She graduated from Greenbush High School in 1932 and attended Moorhead State and Bemidji State Colleges where she majored in elementary education.
Other than her college years, Clarice has lived in Roseau County for her entire life. She married Paul Billberg in Greenbush on June 7, 1941. They had two children, Daryle and Dale, and raised the boys on a farm in Wannaska.
Clarice taught Roseau County country school for 45 years, retiring in 1981. She was a 4-H leader, a member of the WCTU, and a member of the Roseau County Rural Teachers Association. She was the female senior citizen in 1990 for Roseau County, and in 1978 she was a nominee for teacher of the year.
Following her retirement in 1981, Clarice volunteered her time to the church serving on the ladies groups, taught release classes, and made quilts. Quilting was one of her favorite hobbies. Clarice's faith in God was significant and she lived her life by God's word.
