Caridad was imprisoned for a time in the prison of San Antón, and after the war ended in 1939, she was awarded the Cross of Naval Merit by Captain General Francisco Bastarreche for her assistance to the fugitive officers in 1936. In the postwar period, she became involved in charitable works, and even mediated for victims of the Francoist repression. From 1947, she regularly deposited a dark red rose on the statue of the Virgen de la Caridad. After her death, the Portapasos Marrajos placed a bouquet of roses on the statue every Friday of Sorrows in her honour. Caridad died in 1960, and was honoured with a great funeral procession made up of the humble sectors of society, and some of her former wealthy friends.
