Sarah Scullin (née McNamara; 1880 – 31 May 1962) was the wife of James Scullin, the 9th Prime Minister of Australia.
She was born in Ballarat, Victoria.[1] While her husband was Prime Minister they lived not in The Lodge but in Hotel Canberra, because he saw it[clarification needed] as a wasteful extravagance.[2]
Scullin died on 31 May 1962 and was buried with her pre-deceased husband within the Catholic section of Melbourne General Cemetery. The Scullins had no children.
