 Carmen loved spending time with her friends and family. Carmen loved playing cards, camping and going places all while making memories with the ones she was close with. Carmen was the type of person to make every single person in the room laugh or at least smile whether it be by cracking a joke or just giving off her bubbly fun personality. Family really met the world to Carmen, especially her grandkids. They were truly the light of her life. One person Carmen adored was her loving husband, Chris. Carmen met the love of her life in 1995 and in Carmen’s words “she kept bugging him and chasing him around until he gave her a chance”. After “that chance” was given with in six wonderful months they were engaged with their first baby together on the way! Chris and Carmen were married on June 29th, 1996. Chris and Carmen had a love like absolutely no other! Chris welcomed Carmen and her eight year old son, at the time, Kyle with wide open loving arms, that’ has never changed after all the years. Chris and Carmen had an amazing life together and brought up an amazing family. Carmen was a hard worker all of her life. She loved to help others. She was an amazing wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, aunt, friend and so much more.

She will be greatly missed by her husband, Christopher Dilling. Mother, Kathy (Miller) Whitney. Sister, Penny (Whitney) Reuille.
