Cuozzo was born in 1926, in Peekskill, to George and Marjorie Dunnigan. After completing high school there, she attended Grasslands School of Nursing in Valhalla, graduating as a registered nurse. She began her nursing career at the Westchester Medical Center Hospital. She worked as a nurse at United Hospital in Port Chester, and continued nursing there. While still working full time as a nurse, she elected to return to college and complete the coursework for a Bachelor of Science degree, which she earned from Pace University in 1981. She retired from United Hospital in 1991, but returned there frequently as a volunteer. She was a member of Our Lady of Mercy church in Port Chester. She was a member of the Altar Society and was involved with the Catholic Daughters of America for many years.
