Priscilla Presley pays tribute to her late daughter Lisa Marie two years after her untimely death
Priscilla Presley is paying tribute to her late daughter Lisa Marie Presley, two years after her passing.
The 79-year-old wife of Elvis Presley shared a throwback snap of her only child with the King of Rock, who passed away at just 54 on January 12, 2023.
Priscilla shared a throwback snap of her daughter on Instagram, along with a heartfelt message about her passing.
The post comes just months after Priscilla opened up about the one film role that Elvis regretted passing on after his manager Colonel Tom Parker talked him out of it.
‘I miss you more than words can say. I wish I could hold you, talk to you, see your smile just one more time,’ Priscilla began.
‘I wish you could see how much you are still loved, how deeply you are missed by all of us who carry you in our hearts.’ -Mom,’ she concluded.

Lisa Marie suffered a cardiac arrest at her home in Calabasas, California on January 12, 2023 at approximately 10:30 AM.
She was transported to the West Hills Hospital, where her heart was restarted en route via CPR.
However, she passed away later that day at the hospital, just days after her final public appearance at the Golden Globes with her mother Priscilla.
Her autopsy revealed Lisa Marie died from a small bowel obstruction caused by a recent bariatric surgery she underwent to manage obesity conditions.
While there were opioids found in her system at the time of death, the coroner revealed those did not contribute to her death.
She was interred at the Graceland Meditation Garden next to her father Elvis and her son Benjamin, who died by suicide in 2020.
Back in October, Lisa Marie’s daughter, actress Riley Keough, opened up in an Oprah Winfrey special about her mother’s final years.
She revealed that when her son Ben died by suicide in 2020, Lisa Marie kept her son’s body for two months, unsure if where to lay him to rest, and because she thought she could process her grief more with his body nearby.

‘On paper, I could see how this sounds completely insane and absurd, but my mom was just very much herself… You know, she wasn’t a crazy lady,’ Riley said.
She compared her mother’s extended grieving process to non-Western societies, adding, ‘everybody in the house was in the grieving process.’
Riley added, ‘She pulled some wild things off, but I think that the plan was to bury him here (at Graceland) with her dad.’
‘And we weren’t gonna come here for about three weeks. … She knew that the woman was gonna keep my brother at the funeral home, and I think she just didn’t like the idea that he was far away, and she didn’t know what was being done,’ she added.
‘And I think that she just wanted control over the situation, given our family and all of that, and also just being a mother… Basically, she found a very compassionate funeral home owner who was a mother, and she said, “Well, look, if you do all these things, you can keep him in a room. You just have to have somebody tend (to the body),”‘ she said, adding in her book that Benjamin’s corpse was kept at 55 degrees.
