The legendary Fabulous Moolah passed away last week, and this week an emotionally charged funeral was staged to honor the icon!!!
About 200 people attended the noon service to hear Stephanie McMahon-Levesque, daughter of WWE chief Vince McMahon Jr., deliver the eulogy.
McMahon-Levesque lauded Ellison's accomplishments in the ring and her fortitude in surviving childhood with 12 older brothers.
"I love you, Shane, but I can't imagine having 12 older brothers," she said to her brother, Shane McMahon, who was seated with the family.
She told of the time her grandfather, Vince McMahon Sr., founder of what would become the WWE, surprised a young Ellison with a cake on her birthday.
"She couldn't believe anyone even knew it was her birthday," McMahon-Levesque said. "She felt like she was a part of the McMahon family. And I'd like to say that she is very much a part of the McMahon family. She always will be."
