encouraged and genuinely wants each person to succeed in their positions and is willing to help every individual achieve their goals. Simply stated Judy Moreland represents our industry in the most professional way! Jennifer Oden was the recipient of PBADOA’s 2018 Member of the Year award. Jennifer has held the offices of Vice President, President, and Board Advisor. PBADOA is very proud to recognize Jennifer’s hard work and dedication to our organization. We were saddened to learn of the passing of two individuals very special to PBADOA and our membership—Carla McCarty and Peggy Worthington. Carla Jean McCarty worked in the oil business for many years, most recently as a Division Order Analyst for Great Western Drilling Company. She retired in 2015 after 25 years of service. During that time Carla served on both the PBADOA and NADOA boards in many capacities. She was the 1997 PBADOA President and the 2003 NADOA President. Carla passed away on December 30, 2018 surrounded by her family. She will be remembered for her fun-loving personality and kind smile. Mindy Warren, wrote the following about her friend, “Carla McCarty was PBADOA President In 1997 and I was incredibly fortunate to follow in her footsteps as PBADOA President in 1998. There couldn’t have been a sweeter stroke of luck over my now 30-year career than this transition. I had only been in the industry 8 years and I was still struggling to find my place in an industry that was still mostly male dominant and still afforded few opportunities for women to be successful. Carla became a most treasured mentor and friend and she encouraged me with her insight and wisdom and taught me how to endure the cycles and how to passionately love what you do. She also taught me that the best gift you could give your career was to never stop learning about what you do. She lived to love her career yet somehow gently wove the love for her husband and family into all that she gave to the industry. To know her was to be forever blessed.” We recognize and honor the contributions Carla made to PBADOA. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family. Peggy Worthington was an independent landman who generously shared her time and knowledge at PBADOA luncheons and seminars. Peggy was a known for her integrity, honesty, and dedication. Her obituary read, “Failure was

never an option; she saw obstacles as lessons and ways to improve. She said the key to a successful career is to find something you love to do and do your best every day.” Peggy passed away on January 24, 2019. We extend our sincere condolences to her family.
