Priscilla Presley’s beloved mother, Ann Iverson, died in 2021
In August 2021, Priscilla Presley told People Magazine that she knew her mother had reached the end of her life. Subsequently, she arranged for a religious blessing for Ann.
“I had a priest come in to give her her last rites about four days before she died. He told me, ‘Remember Priscilla, hearing is the last thing that goes, so say positive things for her spirit,'” she revealed.
Priscilla took that advice and played some of her late ex-husband‘s gospel music for her mother. She hoped it would comfort Anne in her final days.

Many think of Elvis and Priscilla Presley as one of the biggest love stories in music history, but the truth is a lot more complicated than that - especially when it comes to how they met. According to most Elvis biographies, the pair first met at a party during Elvis's time in the Army when he was in his mid-20s. That wouldn't be scandalous at all if it weren't for the fact that Priscilla was just a teenager at the time.
