Jovita was an avid donor to various charitable organizations such as Care, Doctors Without Borders, Habitat For Humanity, Americares, and pet shelters. She was also intensely interested in Mexican politics and the drug wars in Mexico, openly criticizing the corruption of political leaders.

Before her death, she expressed her desire to donate her organs and, upon her death, arrangements were made to donate as many as possible. Recipients were found for her heart, lungs, liver and kidneys.
