Carey has yet to provide any further details regarding the causes of her mother’s and sister’s deaths.
Patricia Carey, like her famous daughter, was musically talented, having trained as an opera singer at Juilliard and worked as a vocal coach. Though Mariah credits her mother for shaping her vocal abilities, their relationship had its challenges. In her 2020 memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, the Grammy-winning artist reflected on the complexity of their bond.
“Like many aspects of my life, my journey with my mother has been full of contradictions and competing realities. It’s never been only black-and-white — it’s been a whole rainbow of emotions,” Carey wrote. She described their relationship as one marked by a mixture of pride, pain, and admiration. Despite the struggles, Carey remained connected to her mother, expressing love and understanding.
