Godínez was born on December 2, 1904[1][2] in the village of Vereda Nueva in the Havana province (Ciudad de La Habana Province).[1] Like Batista, she was of humble origin and was born in a small farmhouse, as one of nine children born to Salustiano Godínez y Córdoba and Concepción Gómez y Acosta.[1]
Godinez married Batista in 1933.[2][3][4] They had a son, Rubén, and two daughters, Mirta[5] and Elisa Aleida.[4] They divorced in 1945.[2][4][3]
Godínez married her second husband, Máximo Rodríguez, a former member of the Cuban Congress, and they immigrated to the United States in 1959, settling in Miami, Florida.[2][3] Rodríguez died in 1962, and Godínez resided in Miami until her death there on June 19, 1993,[3][4] at age 88.[2]
