In Memory of Sandra “Sandy” Seeley-Copley
1945–2025
Beloved salon owner, educator, and creative visionary.
Her Life & Legacy
For decades, Sandy was the heart and soul of Queen’s Parlour, a leading full-service salon in Moline, Illinois, which has served the community since 1965.
A naturally gifted artist, she brought creativity and passion to every haircut, color, and curl — ensuring that every client left feeling like the best version of themselves.
Sandy was not just a stylist, but an educator. Her guiding philosophy — Motivate. Stimulate. Educate. — inspired many. Over the years, she earned recognition as an award-winning platform artist, teaching others and sharing her craft with generosity.
As a business leader, she built Queen’s Parlour into a welcoming space full of warmth and personal care — clients often remarked on how she made them feel seen, understood, and truly cared for.
She was an award-winning platform artist with John Amico’s “Share The Wealth” program, a member of the National Education Committee’s HairAmerica since 1984, and a member of the National Cosmetology Association.
Sandy was active in her community, serving on the board of Childrens Therapy Center of Quad Cities since 1984, The Women’s Connection since 2000, and Bikes for Brains – an organization dedicated to donating bicycles to low income children – since 2003.
