As a little girl she participated in the activities of the sports organization Orel. She married in 1940. Three years later her husband got arrested by the Gestapo. They were reunited only after the end of the war during which her husband had survived a death march. Zdeňka worked in a shop in Vizovice, selling milk for most of her life.
