Priscilla Presley has suffered so much loss over the last two and a half years. Back in 2020, her grandson Benjamin Keough died at just 27 and was buried by Elvis Presley in Graceland’s Meditation Garden. A year later, her mother Anna followed and now the 77-year-old’s daughter Lisa Marie Presley has died too. Incredibly, the former wife of The King was strong enough to take the stage at the funeral on Sunday to read a poem written by granddaughters Harper and Finley Lockwood.
Holding back tears, Priscilla said: “The old soul, I had no idea how to put my mother into words. Truth is there are too many. Lisa Marie Presley was an icon, a role model, a superhero to so many people all over the world… Even now I can’t get across everything there is to be understood or known about her. But she always said ‘I’ll do my best’. The old soul, in 1968 she entered our world born tired, fragile yet strong. She was delicate but was filled with life. She always knew she wouldn’t be here too long. Childhood passes by with a glimpse of her green eyes. She then grew a family of her own.”
Priscilla continued: “Then came her second child, leaving her with suspicion. Could this be the angel that takes me home? Time of course flew by, it was time for a tragedy. She knew it was close to the end. Survivors guilt some would say but a broken heart was the doing on her death. Now she is home where she always belonged. But my heart is missing her love. She knew that I loved her. I fear I’ll never touch her but the old soul is always with me. She doesn’t drift above. That says it all.”
The heartbroken mother of Lisa Marie has since broken her silence following the funeral.
Priscilla wrote on Twitter: “Thank you all for your condolences, you have touched me with your words. It has been a very difficult time but just knowing your love is out there makes a difference.”
One fan commented: “We love you so much. My heart goes out to all the family.” Another wrote: “There’s been such an outpouring of love for your family, much of it you may not even see or know about but it’s there. I hope you feel all of it, at some level and that it brings you comfort.”

She was the most passionate, strong and loving woman I have ever known. We ask for privacy as we try to deal with this profound loss.”
Lisa Marie was buried next to her son Benjamin in Graceland’s Meditation Garden, near Elvis, on Sunday.
