Born in Birim North, Ghana, on June 10, 1946, Grace Omaboe, also known as the mother of veteran actress Madam Rebecca Afia Daadom, who passed away at the age of 105 from Abirim in the Eastern Region, gained fame through her acting in the well-known Akan Drama Series "OBRA" aired on GBC TV, establishing her as a prominent figure in Ghanaian show business for many years.

Omaboe ran as a parliamentary candidate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in New Abirem for Birim North Constituency in the Eastern Region in both 2000 and 2004. However, she switched to the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in 2008, claiming that the NDC had fabricated false allegations against her.

Grace Omaboe, alternatively referred to as Grace Nortey, has gone through two marriages but is currently separated from her second husband. She has a total of six children, four from her first marriage and two from her second.

Regarding her children, two are located in the United States, two in the Netherlands, and the rest reside in Ghana.
