Mariah Carey Shares Heartbreaking News: Her Mother Patricia and Sister Alison Pass Away on the Same Day

It has been confirmed by sources that Mariah Carey’s mother, Patricia and her sister, Alison, passed away on the same day over the weekend.

“I want to express my deepest condolences on the loss of a mother to me this past weekend and to my sister, who died on the same weekend, unfortunately, in a car accident,” the 55-year-old Grammy winner said in an interview.

‘We Were Able to Spend the Last Week With My Mom Before She Died,’ Mariah says, “I have gotten so much love and support and such unbelievable respect for my privacy during this time that is impossible.”

It is unclear, at the time, if there are any other facts to do with their deaths, though both of them are said to have died in Patricia’s residence; Patricia passed away due to an unknown cause, while Alison succumbed to an unknown disease.

Pattie was once married to Alfred Roy Carey, a Juilliard-trained opera singer and vocal instructor, before they started having kids: Alison, Mariah and Morgan. The parents separated when the ‘Hero’ singer was only three years of age due to divorce.

Mariah’s relationship with her mother, who endowed her with vocal gifts, was not always warm until the end of her life.

It’s been so much more than the happy, loving, adoring daughter and mother. It’s been so much more than the estranged daughter and the emotionally and verbally abusive mother. It has been all of it. It has been the rainbow that I have painted my life and my relationship with her to be, she shared in her latest memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey 2020.

”Our connection is a rose with thorns made up of pride, humiliation, embarrassment, thankfulness, envy, appreciation, and letdown,” Mariah wrote in the book. This is a poetic way of saying : “A complicated love binds my heart to my mother’s.”.

However, Mariah and her mother kept their relationship on and off, though there were times when they fought a lot. In 2010, they came together for ABC’s Mariah Carey: On the Bubblegy Christmas. In 2007, I also wished everyone a Merry Christmas to You special and sang the mother-daughter ‘O Come All Ye Faithful, Hallelujah Chorus.’

Patricia was also dedicated to a to a part of Mariah’s memoir. “And to Pat, my mother, who I really do think, given the circumstances, did the best she could,” she penned. ”I will always love you the best I can.”

Mariah also had quite a complicated relationship with Alison. In the memoir, the star stated that it was, at least as of then, “emotionally and physically safer for me not to have any contact with her or Morgan.

Her mother was left in the dedication to the memoir that the legendary pop star penned thus: “And 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.”.
