She married Osmeña in on January 10, 1920 in San Miguel, Manila, two years after the death of Osmeña's first wife, Estefania Chiong Veloso. The couple had three children: Ramón, Rosalina, and Victor.

She became first lady upon the death of Manuel L. Quezon, when her husband succeeded to the presidency of the Philippine government-in-exile in the United States. However, while her husband was president-in-exile, she herself was still in the Philippines and remained there, during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines during World War II. On 30 Oct. 1944, Volckmann's forces rescued Mrs. Osmena and family from Baguio.

She died on April 4, 1978 in at Makati Medical Center in Makati due to heart failure. She was buried at Manila North Cemetery in Santa Cruz, Manila on April 11, 1978.
