Growing up in Fullerton, the siblings all attended Fullerton Union High School. Their paths led them to diverse careers: Louise as an elementary school teacher, Carol as a social worker, probation officer, and holistic health center owner, and John in commercial property management.
For John and his wife, the decision to move to Morningside was partly about simplifying life.
“As you get older, being social and being around people is important,” he noted. This desire for connection is clearly fulfilled by having his sisters nearby.
Beyond their familial bond, the Phelps siblings are deeply engaged in giving back to their community. In 2011, they received a Volunteer Lifetime Achievement Award for their charitable work.
Here at Morningside, Louise shares her artistic talents by teaching art classes, while John and Carol volunteer at a therapeutic equine riding center. All three also collaborate on their family foundation.
Reflecting on their closeness, Carol says, “We all feel really fortunate that we’re still around. And to be so close, for me anyway, to be so close in our last years is special.”
