In the pre-war time she was a Communist activist and met her first husband Edward Tarnowski when preparing the defenses in the first days of WWII. She married him in 1940 and soon bore a son in Przezdziatka in the district of Sokolów Podlaski. When the Gestapo came to arrest Edward, she left their son at her parents in Miedzna and joined her husband at organizing many successful guerrila raids. At the end of World War II, her husband was murdered in the Pawiak Prison in Warsaw. Poor living conditions in Miedzna after the war made her move to Warsaw, where she subsequently worked in a confectionary. Later, thanks to her background in the Army, she started a carrier in the Ministry for Domestic Affairs, finally reaching the posision of the department chief and being awarded the rank of Lt. Colonel. It was in the Ministery for Domestic Affairs, where she met her second husband Mieczyslaw Glanc. See also the notes for her husbad Edward Tarnowski.
