[158] His mother always said he was one of a pair of twins -- that the other baby died before it was born. Whether this is true or not is not known. But apparently Betty's delivery of Hal was very difficult, and she was advised by doctors that she should not give birth again. Hal went to the junior college near their home in San Mateo. He and another fellow shared the duty of playing the piano for school assemblies. (The other fellow went on to sing professionally and own a few game shows. His name was Merv Griffen.) Hal was an Eagle Scout and his Scoutmaster was black, which was very unusual in that day. After high school, Dad joined the Navy and was assigned to attend school at Kansas State University in Lawrence, Kansas, near Kansas City. Meanwhile, Annabeth volunteered to help with the USO, where she met Hal in 1946, when she was 20.
[18] Annabeth was found dead on May 30, 2001, peacefully curled up in her bed. Thus her death certificate bears that date. However, based on evidence in her home, it is apparent that she passed away sometime during the day of May 17, 2001. This is based on decomposition of the body, on the postmarks found on mail not yet removed from the mailbox, and from the date of an unread newspaper found just inside the front door. Since she did not subscribe to the paper, but had to go out to buy it, we surmise that she went out and bought a paper. She brought it home and not feeling well, went back to bed, never to wake on this side of the veil. Conversations with her physician revealed that she was taking medicine for high blood pressure. Her medical records revealed that she had been hospitalized about three years previously for heart-related issues. Thus her doctor concluded that it was likely she experienced a heart attack. Obituary from the Monterey County Herald Annabeth Beasley Phelps, 74, a longtime resident of Monterey, died May 17 at her home. She was born July 16, 1926, in Kansas City, Mo., and lived in Monterey for 45 years. Mrs. Phelps grew up in Illinois and Ohio and graduated from Southeast High School in Kansas City in 1943. In 1956 she moved to Monterey, where she worked as a stenographer for the Monterey County Probation Department and the Department of the Army at Fort Ord. She was a founding officer of the Monterey Chapter of Parents without Partners and helped organize the Oak Knoll Neighborhood Association. She attended First Presbyterian Church of Monterey and was very active in the Monterey County Democratic Party. She was known for her letter-writing, her strong Democratic politics, and her large collections of silver and copper items and German memorabilia. Mrs. Phelps is survived by a son, Brian Phelps of Livermore; five grandsons; and her former husband, Harold B. "Hal" Phelps of Santa Maria. She was preceded in death by a son, Harold B. "Bud" Phelps; three sisters, Betty Beasley, Ruth Beasley and Jane Rath; and a brother, Robert Beasley. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. June 16 at Mission Memorial Park Chapel of Seaside. Inurnment will be in the family plot in Norwalk, Ohio. The family suggests that any memorial contributions be sent to the SPCA of Monterey County, P. O. Box 3058, Monterey 93942.
