Here's a more detailed story. Link has a pix of her and Elvis:
Shirley Searcy Delgado, who dated Elvis Presley about 50 years ago
during the singer's early career, died Monday in her Houston home,
apparently of a heart attack. She was 72.
In the mid-1950s, Presley spotted Delgado in the audience at the
Louisiana Hayride in Shreveport, where he was performing, said her
son, Victor Matthew Delgado of Houston.
During an intermission, Presley "grabbed her and took her backstage to
the band, saying, 'Look what I found,' " her son said.
Romance ensued, and Presley and Shirley Delgado intended to marry, her
son said. But Presley's manager, Col. Tom Parker, decided that
"marriage was not a good business move" for the singer, he added.
Delgado and Presley, however, continued to see each other from time to
time but eventually went their separate ways, Victor Delgado said.
Shirley Delgado was born June 18, 1934, in Troup, the daughter of Harm
Searcy and his wife, Bert Ferguson Searcy.
She attended Kilgore College, where she was a member of the school's
famous Rangerettes drill team, Victor Delgado said.
She became an executive secretary for an oil company in Shreveport,
where she met her future husband, Victor M. Delgado, a physician who
was an intern at a hospital.
The couple lived in Monterrey, Mexico, for five years and in Terrell
before moving to Houston. They later divorced. Her former husband, who
is retired, lives in Houston.
In addition to her son, survivors include three daughters, Melody
Suzanne Delgado of Troup, Stacey Sophia Delgado of Houston and Ricci
Mace of Fort Worth; a brother, David Searcy of Troup, and a sister,
Delight Searcy of Kilgore.

two and a half years in his early days." (http://tinyurl.com/2rhkck). When
