Alison carey biography

Mariah Carey’s late sister Alison Carey was dealt a difficult hand in life — but was able to see her children before she died on Aug.

24, according to her friend and advocate.

David Baker, who knew Alison, 63, for nine years, tells PEOPLE that she “had a tough life” before she died at her home in Coxsackie, New York.

“We saw it coming, but it’s still a shock,” he says.

“She got ill fairly quickly and a month later, she’s gone.”

Baker previously shared on X on Aug. 3 that Alison had entered hospice.

“She got her wish,” he says. “She died in her own home.”
