Isabel Urcuyo was born in Costa Rica on 31 July 1924.
Her father was Clodomiro Urcuyo Argüello, a wealthy Nicaraguan who owned large areas of land in northern Costa Rica and served as Minister of Education in the government of Juan Bautista Sacasa.
Her mother was Costa Rican Amalia Rodríguez.
By maternal line, she was descended from the Costa Rican oligarchy.
Isabel was the youngest of a family of four children; her siblings were Vicente (Nicaraguan ambassador to Spain), Clodomiro, and Anita.
She studied at the Colegio La Asunción de Managua, where she earned a bachelor's degree in science and literature.
She learned English with a private American tutor.
She married Luis Somoza Debayle on 9 June 1947, who flew to San José to court her, as she spent seasons with relatives there.
