Edwin B. Wood, Retired Executive of Bank, Dies at 87
Edwin B. Wood, a longtime resident of Newport Beach and Security Pacific Bank executive, died Saturday of heart failure. He was 87.
A native of New Jersey, Wood moved to California about 1920, according to his daughter, Joanne Wood Johnson. Wood worked for Security Pacific for 46 years before retiring in 1971 as assistant vice president.
Wood was a member of the Community Congregational Church in Corona del Mar for many years. He was a member of the California Bankers Assn.
He is survived by his wife of 68 years, Jeanette Wood, three children, nine grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
He will be interred at Mountain View Mausoleum in Altadena, and a memorial service will be held at the Community Congregational Church in Corona del Mar at 11:30 a.m. Friday.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions to a memorial fund at the church.
