The girl, one of them, is said to be Bonnie Underwood, but I don't know if its Charle's sister or wife.
Group Of Women Watching Elvis Depart
3/24/1958 - Memphis, TN: Friends, sweethearts and relatives display their emotions as 23-year-old rock and roll singer Elvis Presley leaves Memphis for Fort Chaffee, Arkansas, to begin a two-year hitch in the Army.
On hand to see him off are (L to R): Mrs. Bonnie Underwood; Judy Spreckles [sic]; Anita Wood; Patsy Presley, a cousin; Mrs. Vesta Presley, an aunt; and Janet Hall. Miss Spreckles [sic] expressed her loyalty as a Presley fan, despite his recent attraction to Miss Wood, who says she's his best friend not his best girl.

It's his wife. She would be seen as one of the ladies waving good-bye to Elvis, less than one year later.
