There is a Google article about her 107th birthday (Dec. 9, 2013) where it describes the "bug" that she found while they were testing the computer (Mark I Electromechanical Computing Machine). The anecdotal story is that the moth they found was a bug and that they debugged the machine.

Grace Hopper coined the phrase "bug" to describe a malfunction in a computer system. She famously recorded finding a moth trapped in her computer's relay, and the term 'debugging' was born.

Who coined the term De-bugging?

Grace Hopper (1906-1992) was an American naval officer and computer scientist. Hopper contributed to the early development of digital computers, especially with the invention of her compiler, which translates English instructions to a language understandable by the computer. Hopper coined the term debugging, which today is used to refer to the removal of glitches and impediments to the computer. At the time, its inspiration was a moth removed from a computer, causing faults.
