Sabina was the daughter of Georgiana and John Molloy, pioneers from Augusta. She was only 11 when her mother died following complications of child birth. In 1848 Sabina became the second wife of Bishop Mathew Blagden Hale (1811 – 1895), the first Church of England Bishop of Perth (1857 – 1875). It is believed that several of Sabina’s children are buried with her at the Cemetery. Five of her children died – John at 3 days old, Mathew drowned at the age of 10, Robert died aged 12, Augusta at 7 months and John also died at 7 months of age. Colonial life was harsh for women and although five of her sons and one daughter survived, Sabina, like so many Colonial mothers suffered the loss of their precious children.
