Have you checked the 1939 register to see where she was living?

Grace Sarah Harrison
Address 1 The Parade
Year 1929/30
Constituency in full Parliamentary Borough of Hythe
Polling district or place Folkestone
Record set England & Wales, Electoral Registers 1910-1932

There are other persons listed at this address so perhaps it’s a boarding/lodging house,
unfortunately the year only goes to 1932 so can’t check for an address for the year 1955  ???

Edit to add

I've checked findagrave, billiongraves index and deceased online and can't find anything for Grace sorry  :-\

Could she have been buried with family members?
Do you know where her parents/siblings are buried?

I have seen that document it seems she lived there with another lady.
She passed in Folkestone a long way from family.Her brother George Henry Harrison (my great grandfather) passed in Aylesbury in1945 but was cremated in Golders Green Cemetery his ashes are scattered there.Its another unsolved mystery why his ashes were scattered the but his wife is buried in Tring Road Cemetery Aylesbury,I know were her grave is.
I won’t be able to respond to messages for a few hours because of another engagement.
