She certainly married well, her third husband appears to be John Arthington Worsley born 1928, brother of Katharine, Duchess of Kent.

How was she related (if at all) to the famous Molson family of Canada?

Thanks.

Hartland Molson was president of Molson Breweries and owner of the Montreal Canadiens (hockey). Very rich.
