Samen met Frommel verborg ze gedurende de oorlogsjaren in haar huis aan de Herengracht in Amsterdam vijf Joodse kunststudenten. Voor haar hulp bij het onderduiken ontving ze in 1998 de Yad Vashemonderscheiding.


Na de oorlog bleven de onderduikers bij haar wonen. Het was ook na de oorlog dat de stichting Castrum Peregrini werd opgericht. Deze Latijnse naam, die 'Burcht van de Pelgrim' betekent, was de schuilnaam van haar woning tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. De stichting draait op twee grote giften van de kunstenares en van Selina Pierson en zet zich in voor kunstenaars. Na het overlijden van haar man in 1967 woonde en werkte ze ruim 25 jaar elke zomer in haar atelier op het Griekse eilandParos om zich aan de schilderkunst te wijden.


Op 29 januari 2011 ontving ze uit handen van de Amsterdamse burgemeester Eberhard van der Laan een koninklijke onderscheiding voor haar kunstmecenaat en werd Ridder in de Orde van Oranje-Nassau. Aan de feestelijkheden rond haar honderdste verjaardag in september 2012 heeft ze nog actief kunnen deelnemen. In januari 2013 ging haar gezondheid echter als gevolg van een val in haar atelier achteruit. Op 27 mei 2013 is ze thuis overleden.[2] Ze is naast haar man en oorlogsvrienden begraven op de begraafplaats van Spaarnwoude naast het kerkje de Stompe Toren. In september 2013 werd zij als honderdjarige onder meer herdacht in de 100-jarige sociëteit Koninklijke Industrieele Groote Club te Amsterdam door haar vaste team van Castrum Peregrini


Cees van Ede maakte een televisieportret over haar toen ze 84 was. Deze documentaire werd in 1997 uitgezonden en bij haar dood 16 jaar later herhaald door de documentaireserie Het uur van de wolf.[3] Susan Smit schreef in 2013 de historische roman Gisèle, waarin als een van haar minnaars A. Roland Holst werd gepresenteerd.
