Born April 25th, 1912 in Pontotoc County, Mississippi Gladys shared a very special bond with her only child Elvis®. Gladys, one of nine children, began to work as a seamstress in Tupelo at age 19 to help support her large family after the passing of her father.
On June 17th, 1933 Gladys married Vernon Presley and they rented a home in the Tupelo area. Two years later she gave birth to twins. One of whom was named... Elvis Presley®! Though twin brother Jessie was stillborn and she was ill Gladys pulled through.
The bond between Gladys and her only child, Elvis was full of love and encouragement. Though she struggled with the fame that followed Elvis with his growing successes they remained close until her passing on August 14th, 1958.
This Mother’s Day, we would like to share our appreciation for the woman who raised the man we know and love, Elvis Presley! We’d also like to encourage you to express your love for the Mothers in your life.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mothers out there!
