Carla Ann Dignan

Carla was born January 4, 1956, in Cumberland, Maryland, the daughter of Carl August and Doris N. Whisner Tribut. She married Paul H. Dignan, Jr. on May 4, 1974, in Cumberland, Maryland.

Carla spent half of her life working in the home and raising her children. She subsequently went on to obtain her LPN degree and worked at Cancer Care Specialist of Illinois until her retirement in 2020. Carla enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, taking summer trips to Destin with her favorite people, and beating her husband at cards. She was patient, kind, and had a knack for one liners. So, yeah mom jokes on us this time. Much love.
