[3] After the fall of the Republic, Garrido fled to France, settling with her partner in the city of Toulouse and joining the CNT's clandestine groups to help exiles.

After the Nazi invasion of France, they both collaborated with the French Resistance, within the escape group organised by Francisco Ponzán [es], working as couriers and liaisons in the Hautes-Alpes department.

[4] In October 1943, she was arrested in Toulouse by the Gestapo, who were watching her because she was the one who brought food to Francisco Ponzán's prison every day and presumably was his main courier.

He communicated the identity of "la Mañica" or "Francoise" in the course of a round table in which he participated together with the journalists Ramón Lobo, Conchi Cejudo and Pilar Barranco, and the Valencian magistrate Joaquim Bosch.

[6] A few months later, in November of the same year, the Association of Relatives and Friends of those Murdered and Buried in Magallón (AFAAEM) and the Magallón Town Council, with the collaboration of the Zaragoza Provincial Council [es] and the Cortes of Aragon, paid tribute to Garrido and held a colloquium with journalists such as Javier del Pino, Gervasio Sánchez, Ramón Lobo, Conchi Cejudo and Gonzalo Barros.

[4][7] Subsequently, another tribute was paid to her at the Fosa de Magallón, during a day of democratic memory in which the Manchega singer-songwriter Rozalén took part.
