Juana del Pino was left behind and unable to contact Rivadavia, during this time her mother and one of her daughters died. Rivadavia returned in 1821 and in 1823 established the Sociedad de Beneficencia. Juana del Pino played an important part, although Rivadavia did not want her to feature in the first commission.

In 1841 she fell and broke her leg and died six weeks later on 14 December 1841. (Sosa de Newton, 496-497)
