Priscilla Presley Remembers Lisa Marie Presley on Death Anniversary

Two years after the tragic passing of Lisa Marie Presley, her mother Priscilla Presley and daughter Riley Keough took to social media to honor her memory. The heartfelt tributes came on January 12, 2025, marking the somber anniversary of Lisa Marie's death. As fans and family members alike reflect on the loss of the only daughter of the "King of Rock and Roll," Elvis Presley, emotions continue to run high, especially for those who were closest to the late singer-songwriter.

Lisa Marie Presley, who was 54 at the time of her passing, died unexpectedly on January 12, 2023.

The loss of the beloved Presley family member was felt deeply across the globe, with tributes pouring in from fans, celebrities, and those who had known her personally.

Priscilla Presley, Lisa Marie’s mother, posted an emotional tribute on Instagram, reflecting on her deep sorrow two years after the loss. She shared a black-and-white image of Lisa Marie, set to the iconic song "You Were Always on My Mind," originally made famous by her late husband, Elvis Presley, in 1972.

Remembering Lisa Marie’s Legacy

Lisa Marie Presley’s legacy as an artist and as a member of the iconic Presley family continues to live on, even in her absence. As the only child of Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley, she carried with her not just the legacy of her father but also the immense weight of the Presley name.

Throughout her life, Lisa Marie worked to carve out her own identity, releasing multiple albums, including the critically acclaimed To Whom It May Concern and Now What, while also managing the family’s estate, Graceland.

But beyond her music and business acumen, Lisa Marie’s life was defined by her personal struggles and resilience. She battled with loss, heartbreak, and addiction, yet her ability to remain strong in the face of adversity was an inspiration to many. She was a mother to four children—Riley Keough, and twins Harper and Finley Lockwood, whom she shared with her ex-husband Michael Lockwood.

Lisa Marie’s death was particularly devastating for her children, and her legacy will undoubtedly be carried on through them. Riley Keough, in particular, has become a powerful force in the entertainment industry, often mentioning her mother as a source of inspiration.

Garibaldi, who is the son of Priscilla Presley and Marco Garibaldi, took to Instagram with a poignant message. "Can’t believe it’s been 2 years. Sending love and thinking of you today," he wrote.

He continued, acknowledging the complexities of their relationship over the years, but emphasized the good times they had shared. “When things were harmonious, things were great,” Garibaldi wrote. “I truly miss the good times we had.” Despite the inevitable public scrutiny of the Presley family’s dynamics, Navarone expressed a genuine love for his late sister. His post served as a reminder that family bonds, even when tested by difficulty and distance, remain unbreakable.

The Presley Family Moving Forward

In addition to Riley and Navarone, Lisa Marie is survived by her twin daughters, Harper and Finley, who were just 14 years old at the time of her death. The girls, along with Riley, continue to honor their mother’s legacy, with the support of their extended family.
