Jarmila Přibylová was born in Prague on 10 May 1938. Her father František Hlína worked as a clerk at the Pension Institute. Her mother Františka Hlínová was a housewife until she joined Tesla Karlín as a worker in the 1950s. The witness has many memories of the end of World War II. She experienced the Prague Uprising, and there was a barricade in the street next to their house. The house eventually burned down and the family got an apartment confiscated from the Germans. As a child, she was a girl scout and her father was a National Socialist. Despite their political beliefs, the family was not persecuted too much according to her memories. In 1953, Jarmila Přibylová joined Uhelné sklady as an accountant. This is where she met her future husband Jiří Přibyl, whom she married in 1961. Their daughter was born in 1966. Later on, the witness attended an evening school of economics and focused on accounting. She was living in Prague in 2025.
