Queen joined Mt. Carmel Methodist Church at an early age, where she was an Usher, taught children’s Sunday School and worked diligently on church projects and served faithfully for many years until her health deemed her unable to attend church services.  Queen really loved her church dearly.  Queen was a volunteer after retirement at Princeton Baptist Hospital, Birmingham, Alabama.
