Lisa Marie Presley went into cardiac arrest at her home in Calabasas and died on January 12 at a Los Angeles hospital. She was 54 years old.
Priscilla Presley led her family in honor of her late daughter at an emotional memorial service Sunday morning.
She shared a poem by one of Lisa Marie Presley’s 14-year-old daughters, in which she called her mother “an icon, a role model and a superhero”.
