Born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, she graduated in 1935 from the teachers training college, Ecole Normale d'Institutrices, and in 1945 went to pursue nursing studies for a year in Boston, US. She then opened Haiti's first kindergarten and first professional flower shop. A prolific writer of fiction and non-fiction, she has published textbooks, mystery novels, newspaper and magazine articles. Beginning in 1959, Fobrum went into exile for 27 years. Upon her return to Haiti, she was associated with the drafting of the country's new constitution, the organization Ligue Feminine d'Action Sociale (Feminine League for Social Action), and the founding in 2007 of the Fondation Odette Roy Fombrun.
Her historical works include L'Ayiti des Indiens (Port-au-Prince: Deschamps, 1992) and Le Drapeau et les Armes de la République (Port-au-Prince: Deschamps, 1989).
