Lorette Wood died on April 20, 2010, at the age of 94. She was survived by her son, Ed Wood, and granddaughter, Kelsey Phillips.
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.
She retired from the city council in 1975. A woman's rights advocate, Wood was an active member of Planned Parenthood's Santa Cruz chapter.
Wood, a member of the Republican Party, was first elected to the Santa Cruz city council in 1967, becoming the city's first female councilwoman. In 1971, the city council further appointed Wood as Santa Cruz's first female mayor. During her tenure within the city council and mayor's office, Wood openly collaborated with and supported the newly opened University of California, Santa Cruz, whose influence gradually shifted the city's politics in a more progressive direction.
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.
Lorette Wood first became engaged in local Santa Cruz politics during the middle of the 1940s. A teacher by profession, Wood argued against the local Santa Cruz school board's policy of terminating teachers if they became pregnant. Wood noted that the policy lead to the unnecessary loss of qualified educators in the school district.
