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.
