Queenie started her professional journey as a social worker, working tirelessly to support and advocate for families and individuals in need. She brought positivity and determination to her work, always going above and beyond to provide assistance and ensure the well-being of those she served.

Outside of her work, Queenie's greatest joy was her family. She met the love of her life, Robert Wilson, during her time at university. Their shared values and aspirations formed the foundation of a beautiful and fulfilling marriage that lasted over four decades.
