A Family Legacy Built on Love & Dedication
Since 2002, Queen has dedicated her life to caring for pets. What began as a bather in Mt. Pleasant, SC, blossomed into a 22+ year career filled with passion, skill, and unwavering commitment to animal care.
In 2023, Queen opened Queen of the Paws Boutique & Spa in Norfolk, VA—not just as a business, but as a legacy for her five children. Three of her oldest children work alongside her, learning the craft, while her two youngest watch and learn, making this truly a family affair.
Despite facing a rare terminal condition since 2020, Queen continues to bring joy to pets and their families every single day, supported by her children and driven by her lifelong love for animals.
