A year has passed since the tragic death of Lisa Marie, and her memory still lingers, commemorated by an emotionally charged tribute from her family and a special exhibit at Graceland.
At the age of 54, Lisa Marie's life was abruptly cut short due to cardiac arrest. This unfortunate event was triggered by a small bowel obstruction resulting from a previous gastric bypass surgery. Her death not only shocked her immediate family but also left a void in the hearts of her many fans worldwide.
Her mother, Priscilla, and her daughter, Riley, took to Instagram to remember Lisa Marie. They shared heartfelt tributes, reflecting their deep sorrow and the love they held for her. Their words served as a touching reminder of how much she is missed.
Graceland, Home to the Presleys
Bought by Elvis Presley in 1957 for ,000, Graceland was worth million at the time of his demise. The iconic home saw significant growth over the years, largely due to Priscilla's choice to make it accessible to the public. It now generates over million every year, enshrining the sprawling estate's estimated value at more than million.
New Exhibition Honoring Lisa Marie
As an expression of enduring love and respect, Graceland unveiled a new exhibit dedicated to Lisa Marie on the first anniversary of her death. Titled ‘Lisa Marie: Growing Up Presley', the exhibit offers insights into her life with its display of a collection of personal items. Among the artifacts are school photos, her 1980s wallet, and memorabilia from her music career.
In addition, the exhibit showcases 45 outfits spanning across her life. Even the last outfit she wore in public, a black jumpsuit at the Golden Globes, was displayed, capturing a poignant snapshot of her fashion journey.
Joel Weinshanker, managing partner and majority owner of Elvis Presley Enterprises, lauded the expanded exhibit as “amazing”, reinforcing the sentiment that Lisa Marie's memory continues to live vibrantly among those who loved her.
