Ann Taylor Cuza

Ann Taylor Cuza, 68, of Lexington, SC, unexpectedly went to be with the Lord on October 29, 2025. Ann was born on April 21, 1957, in Florence, SC, to the late William “Billy” Samuel Taylor, Jr. and Rachel Benton Taylor.

Ann was a graduate of the University of South Carolina earning a bachelor’s degree in nursing. She worked as a Registered Nurse in several departments within the local community for 36 years.

Ann was best known for her love of her family, her pride in her grandchildren, her infectious sense of humor and being the life of the party. She was also known for her dedication and love of all animals, which included her four earthly dogs: Mia, Marley, Timber and Tyson, as well as numerous fur babies that have crossed the Rainbow Bridge.

Ann cheered enthusiastically for the University of South Carolina Gamecocks and the Kansas City Chiefs (namely Travis Kelce whom she enjoyed watching).

Preceding her in death were her parents; granddaughter, Kinley Cuza; and stepson Robert “Bobby” Cuza.

Survivors include her daughter Kristen (Grant) Cuza and son Taylor (Lindsey) Cuza of Lexington, SC; sister Nancy Bozard of Lexington, SC; a stepson Christopher Cuza, and grandchildren Landon Cuza, Kenna Cuza, Scottli Cuza, Bexley Haskins and Kollie Haskins. She is survived by a niece Elizabeth Graham, nephew Brian Bozard, and her grand-nieces and nephews: Noah, Juliana, Megan, William, Eliza and Sullivan. She is also survived by her former husband and the father of her children, Bobby Cuza, who remained a lifelong friend; her Uncle Paul Benton, a close cousin Beth Benton, and a small circle of dear friends who meant the world to her.

Please join the family as we remember the laughter and love Ann brought into our lives. A visitation will be held at 10:00 A.M. on Thursday, November 6, 2025 at Caughman-Harman Funeral Home, Lexington Chapel, 503 North Lake Dr., Lexington, SC 29072. A private family service will follow.
