Martha Jo Worley “Brevardian of the Week”
Martha Jo Worley has lived in Brevard for 27 years and is Director of Maternal Child Services at Transylvania Regional Hospital where she oversees labor, delivery, postpartum and normal newborn care as well as the Neonatal Intensive Care unit. “The best part of my job,” Martha Jo explains, “is watching a couple become a family in one instant. When a daddy starts to cry at the birth of his child, I cry with him. And, I enjoy fast labors when the doctor doesn’t make it and I get to deliver the baby. Bringing a new life into the world is such a great feeling.”
Martha Jo is also mom to her five children; Amanda 25, Katie 24, Emily 22, Allison 21, and Ricky 20. “I also have one perfect granddaughter, Harper,” Martha Jo adds. This week she took time to answer questions from ilovebrevardblog.com:
What’s one thing people would be surprised to learn about you?
I got thrown out of Christian college for pulling pranks.
What’s your favorite “de-stress” technique?
Bubble baths. If I’m really stressed I may take two or three a day.
What is one thing you did growing up that you hope your kids don’t do?
We used to ride standing up in the back of pickup trucks down dirt roads.
What do you hope your children will remember most about you as a mother?
Many things. Pajama runs, me mooning them to get them to clean their room, rocking them to sleep, Red Rover and Freeze Tag.
What’s the naughtiest thing you did as a child?
I left the front door open one day when we left to go to school. When my mom got home, there were two goats sitting on the couch in the living room.
What’s the best gift you’ve ever received?
My kids gave me a cruise with one of my dearest friends.
What song (or music artist) takes you back to your high school days?
Take It to the Limit by the Eagles
