The sudden passing of Lisa Marie Presley may have seemingly gone unnoticed by the world, but for her friends and family, it left a profound void in their lives. The only child of Elvis Presley passed away on January 12 after suffering a cardiac arrest.
Lisa Marie’s ex-husband, Danny Keough, administered CPR before paramedics arrived, but unfortunately, she could not be revived. Her mother, Priscilla Presley, confirmed the heartbreaking news in a statement, describing Lisa Marie as the most passionate, courageous, and loving woman she had ever known.
Riley Keough, Lisa Marie’s daughter, took to social media to share a touching tribute to her mother after her passing. The post included a photo of Riley and Lisa from their earlier years together, accompanied by a simple heart emoji. This heartfelt gesture reflects the difficult emotions Riley must be experiencing, with the blank space on her post symbolizing her inability to discuss her mother’s sudden departure.
Just recently, the 33-year-old shared the last snapshot she ever took with her beloved mother on Instagram. In the caption, she expressed her gratitude for having a picture of their final moment together. The photo was taken at the Golden Globes, where Lisa Marie had attended the day before her passing. She witnessed Austin Butler win the Best Actor in a Dramatic Motion Picture award for his portrayal of Elvis, Lisa Marie’s father, in the film “Elvis” by Baz Luhrmann.
Reflecting on her reaction to the movie, Lisa Marie said, “I really didn’t know what to do with myself after I saw it. It was so incredible and so accurate and just so authentic that, yeah, I can’t even describe what it meant. I had to take, like, five days to process it.”
Riley’s tribute to her mother encompassed their cherished memories together. She expressed gratitude for having Lisa Marie as her mother and recalled moments like baths as a baby, car rides with Aretha Franklin playing in the background, and ice cream outings after school. Riley reminisced about her mother singing lullabies and being there until they fell asleep. She remembered the love, security, and devotion Lisa Marie provided throughout her life.
Despite the heartache of Lisa Marie’s passing and the worldwide grief it has caused, fans can find solace in the notion that she has been reunited with her beloved son Benjamin. Benjamin, Elvis’ grandson, tragically took his own life at the age of 27 in 2020, profoundly affecting Lisa Marie’s life.
According to reports, Lisa Marie was laid to rest next to Benjamin at Graceland over the weekend. Now, mother and son reside together in the Meditation Garden, a peaceful spot at Elvis’ iconic home.
The legacy of Lisa Marie Presley lives on, and her indomitable spirit continues to touch the hearts of many.
