Grace and Jim moved many times for Jim's career at American Cyanamid and lived in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Cheshire, Connecticut, and Wyckoff, New Jersey before settling in Basking Ridge in 1974. Grace is survived by her husband, James J. Fisher; her children Kathleen, James and Janet; her grandchildren Brian Maggiotto, Claire Maggiotto, Declan Feeley, Brogan Feeley, and Charles Fisher; and her sister Nora Claire Clark.
