Aunt Delta was against gold diggers in Elvis' life and told him about it several times.
Delta Mae Presley Biggs, also known as "Aunt Delta", was Elvis Presley's aunt and the sister of his father, Vernon Presley. She was the last member of the Presley family to live at Graceland, the mansion where Elvis died, and was a key figure in the day-to-day running of the estate:
Lived at Graceland - Aunt Delta lived at Graceland from 1966 until her death in 1993. She was the only Presley family member living there when Graceland opened to the public in 1982.
Aunt Delta was responsible for ensuring the house ran smoothly and that Elvis was happy when he was home. She also protected the home from intruders.
Aunt Delta was a private person who didn't mix with the visitors who toured the mansion. She mostly stayed in a bedroom near the kitchen, which was off-limits to tourists at the time.
Elvis gave Delta the Pomeranian, Edmund. He was like her guard dog, he became her protector. If you went near her room, this dog would start barking, growling, going crazy. You could hear her yelling at him from the other side of the door to shut up.
She would put on her robe and take him out several times a day, holding him in her right hand.
Later, once the tours started, she would still walk around the house in her robe, carrying Edmund, bumping into visitors and saying, "What the hell are you looking at, you sons of bi***es?" and giving them the finger and continuing to curse under her breath as she walked the dog outside.
One day, a tourist asked, "Aren't you Delta's Auntie?" and Delta said, "Oh, hell no, she's dead."
