You should really have her spayed at the clinic where Gracie's medical history is known. That said, it is important that the vet who does the spay knows about her epilepsy, since it might influence which anesthesia the vet will use. We have many different ways of anesthetizing dogs, so there is a way to individualize the procedure according to need. I would insist on having a talk with the surgeon.
