Shirley Bowen, a widow living in Oxford, Ms; but originally from Tupelo, MS; was a dear friend of Elvis P
resley. Shirley now lives at Azalea Gardens and has moved on with her life. Christmas cards and pictures from the king are daily reminders of the friendship they once had. Shirley met Elvis at the age of 13, and their friendship grew each time they had a chance to see each other. Ironically, Shirley says that Elivs and her former husband shared the same great great grandfather. She says that her husband reminded her of Elvis and that's why she was so attracted to him. The grief of her husband, Gordon, and Presley's death was hard to overcome, but she continues to pick up the pieces each day at a time.
