Here's the report on Carrie Saliers
LBuck919
Funeral services for Carrie Christiana Saliers, 29, of Los Angeles, sister of
Emily Saliers of the Indigo Girls singing duo, were held at 4 p.m. Saturday at
Emory University's Cannon Chapel.
The Rev. Susan Henry Crowe officiated. Burial was at Floral Hills Memory
Gardens in Tucker.
Los Angeles police said Carrie Saliers was unresponsive when they found her at
her residence Tuesday after receiving a call to check on her welfare.
Death was from natural causes, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner's
Office.
The coroner's report said Miss Saliers had recently suffered flu- like symptoms
and had a history of depression and anorexia nervosa. She had been known to
overmedicate herself with prescription drugs, the report said.
Miss Saliers graduated from Shamrock High School in Decatur 1987 and from
Pamona College in Claremont, Calif., in 1991. She had been employed five years
as an assistant librarian at Huntington Research Library in San Marino, Calif.
Family members could not be reached Saturday. In an interview in December, Miss
Saliers' father, Don E. Saliers, a professor of theology at Emory University's
Candler School of Theology, said all his daughters, not just Emily, are
musical, and that Carrie would sing with her sister.
In addition to her father, of Decatur, and her sister, of Atlanta, survivors
include her mother, Jane Saliers of Decatur; and two other sisters, Elizabeth
Saliers of New York City and Jennifer Saliers of Baltimore.
