Line 117:
* In 1953, he wed Marion McGahan with whom he had a son, Robin (b. 1952); daughters Tandy (b. 1954) and Noël (b. 1956); and son Timothy (b. 1960). The children in "Tandy's Story" (1961) have the same names as these children.<ref name="sturgeon196104">{{Cite magazine |last=Sturgeon |first=Theodore |date=April 1961 |title=Tandy's Story |url=https://archive.org/stream/Galaxy_v19n04_1961-04#page/n85/mode/1up |magazine=Galaxy Science Fiction |pages=170–194}}</ref>

* Finally, his last long-term committed relationship was with writer and educator Jayne Englehart Tannehill, with whom he remained until the time of his death. She joined Theodore Sturgeon at book signings for his collection "Maturity", and signed as "Jayne Sturgeon". Jayne Englehart had her own biological son, Mark J. Englehart, prior to her partnership with Sturgeon, to whom Sturgeon became like a stepfather.
Sturgeon was a lifelong [[smoking pipe (tobacco)|pipe]] smoker. His death from [[lung fibrosis]] may have been caused by exposure to [[asbestos]] during his merchant marine years.
