Some Famous People called Lilias Massey
Lilias Massey
Lilias Evva Massey (formerly Van Buskirk; 1918 – January 19, 1997) was a Canadian dignitary, who served as châtelaine of Rideau Hall during her father-in-law Vincent Massey's term as Governor General of Canada. Vincent Massey was a widower whose wife Alice died 18 months before his appointment as Governor General. Lilias, who was married to Vincent and Alice Massey's son Lionel, is to date the only person to have served as the official host or hostess of Rideau Hall who was not the Governor General's spouse.
Due to the conventions of formal address that were used in the 1950s, she may also be referred to in some references as "Mrs. Lionel Massey" rather than by her own given name. However, she was not given the honorary style of Her Excellency, which is normally given to a Governor General's spouse, nor was she inducted into the Order of Canada, as a viceregal consort generally is.
