Patricia Carey, aged 87, was more than just Mariah's mother—she was a former opera singer and vocal coach of Irish-American descent, who played a significant role in nurturing Mariah’s early love for music. However, their relationship was not without its challenges. In Mariah’s 2020 memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey , she candidly discussed the complex dynamics between her and her mother, describing it as a relationship fraught with pain and confusion. Mariah recounted how professional jealousy and competition strained their bond, making it particularly painful because it came from someone so close.
Yet, despite these difficulties, Mariah expressed deep love and appreciation for her mother in her memoir. In a heartfelt dedication, she wrote, “To Pat, my mother, who, through it all, I do believe actually did the best she could. I will love you the best I can, always.” These words capture the nuanced and complicated emotions that Mariah carries with her as she mourns the loss of her mother.
Mariah’s relationship with her sister Alison, aged 63, was similarly complex. The two were estranged for many years, with Mariah detailing in her memoir that it was “emotionally and physically safer” for her to distance herself from both Alison and their brother, Morgan. The estrangement was underscored by legal disputes, including a $1.2 million lawsuit filed by Alison against Mariah following the release of her memoir, claiming immense emotional distress.
The deaths of her mother and sister come as another significant loss for Mariah, who has previously endured the passing of her father, Alfred, who succumbed to cancer in 2002 at the age of 72.
Mariah Carey, known for her iconic holiday single “All I Want for Christmas is You” and her record-breaking achievements in the music industry, now faces a time of personal grief. As she continues to cope with the loss of both her mother and sister, the world watches with empathy, respecting her need for privacy during such a sorrowful period.
