â¢ âDodgerâ: Minnie Mae Presley. Minnie Mae Presley was Elvisâs grandmother and the mother of Vernon Presley. Her husband Jessie deserted her in 1942, and after Elvis became wealthy, he gave her a home for the rest of his life. She even lived with Elvis during his army stint in Germany. Minnie Mae outlived her famous grandson, dying on May 8, 1980.
On August 16, 1977, Elvis died at Graceland. His father, grandmother and other family members remained, but the grieving family paid little attention to the horses. Because the $350,000 estate cost nearly $500,000 a year to maintain, Priscilla Presley decided to open her former home to the public to pay the bills.
