She was born on February 25, 1884, into the family of a worker-weaver. She studied in school for two years, then worked as a bobbin winder and weaver. In 1917, she became fascinated with the idea of workers' and peasants' power and became a member of the All-Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks) in 1918, but left the party in 1920 and became a zealous member of the Church. She lived in the town of Gavrilov-Yam and had no family. After retiring, she worked as a laborer in a state farm. Her main concern was the church; she was a member of the church council and served as the church starosta. In October 1936, the church was closed, and she gathered signatures from citizens against the closure, as well as traveled to Yaroslavl and Moscow to petition for its reopening. On March 10, 1937, a group of believers organized by her went to the village council demanding the church's reopening but was dispersed by the police, which served as a pretext for her arrest. On October 25, 1937, she was arrested, and on November 16, 1937, she was sentenced as a 'participant in a counter-revolutionary church-rebellious group' and sentenced to 10 years in a labor camp. She died in the camp on January 12, 1946, under unclear circumstances and was buried in a mass grave of the camp.
