Youngest daughter of John Thomas Molson and Jane 'Jennie' Baker {Butler} Molson of Montreal

In the early the 1930s, Mabel Molson purchased a property known as 'Temple Grove', formerly the residence of David Ross McCord, founder of the McCord Museum, Montreal. Situated on the slopes of Mount Royal near Côte-des-Neiges Street, Temple Grove was a villa built in 1836 for John Samuel McCord

On the 1935 through 1965 enumerations of electors for St-Lawrence-St-George Electoral District in the City Montreal, Miss Mabel Molson was recorded as residing with various cooks and housekeepers at 1720 Cedar Street, which is very close to Cote des Neiges Street in the heart of downtown Montreal. Likely this was the street address of the Temple Grove villa

Also during the 1960s, Miss Molson contributed to the preservation of architectural and real-peoples history of the Province of Quebec, by financially assisting her nephew, Colin 'Jack' (C.J.G.) Molson with purchases of property under the aegis of The Canadian Heritage of Quebec (HQC/CHQ), including the historic and seigneurial Laterrière Mill, built in 1790, which still operates at Les Éboulements on the North Shore of the St Lawrence River between Baie-St-Paul and La-Malbaie, Quebec
