Early life and education
Lo Tui was born Loreida Tui in Tallinn, Estonia, the daughter of Robert Vilhelm Tui (1882–1941) and Leontine Adelheid Tui (née Jaanvärk, 1881–?).

Family
Lo Tui married the Estonian actor, director, and puppeteer Oskar Seliaru in Tallinn on May 1, 1937. Oskar Seliaru erroneously sought to have Lo Tui declared legally dead in 1951 because he believed that she had been killed during the Soviet re-occupation of the Baltic states in 1944.[4][5]
