Grace was born with twin brother Emerson J Bable on 02 April 1923 in Cincinnati OH to Elmira C. & E. Emerson Bable.

She attended Catholic schools in grades K-8, then graduated from Cuyahoga Falls High School.

Grace married Robert E Fisher “Bob” on March 19, 1943 who served in the Army during WWII and then was employed by B F GOODRICH. After being a stay-at-home mom for their son, Robert E Fisher Jr, and daughter, Deborah Ann Fisher, she worked at Polsky’s Department Store and as cafeteria worker for Akron City Schools. After retirement, Bob & Grace traveled extensively around the country, lived in Mesa, AZ during several winters, and also completed many walks in Akron area parks collecting a shield for their walking sticks after each hike.

Together they were members of the Firestone Park Methodist Church.
