Gráinne was born in 1928 in Dublin. She was the daughter of theatre impresario Patrick Lorcan Bourke and Kathleen Harding.
She married RTÉ presenter Eamonn Andrews in Dublin in 1951. They raised 3 adopted children. As her husband's broadcasting career took off in Britain, they lived between London and County Dublin until 1970 when they sold their London home and moved to Portmarnock.
She passed away about 1989 and was buried with Eamonn at Balgriffin Cemetery, Balgriffin, County Dublin.
