She met her future husband, Edwin H. Wood, a member of the U.S. Army and surfer, while studying in Hawaii during the summer.〔 He visited her at her family's farm while travelling back to New York, but he decided to stay in California with her instead of continuing to the East Coast.〔 The couple soon married and had one son, Ed Wood.〔 Her husband died in 1977.〔
In 1943, Lorette Wood moved with her family to Santa Cruz, California, where she resided for the rest of her life.〔 The move was due to Edwin Woods job; he originally worked for Pacific Oil and Burner in Monterey, California. However, the company opened a new branch office in Santa Cruz, necessitating the family's relocation.〔
