Susan Castaneda

Susan was born in Trenton, NJ to Walter and Alice Cubberley on June 12, 1949. She graduated from Ewing High School in Ewing Township in Mercer County, New Jersey. Susan moved to Tampa, Florida in 1974 where she established with her family and raised her beloved children Alyson, and twin brothers Robert and Richard, or “Peas and Carrots”, as Susan sweetly called them.

Susan had a selfless heart and loved helping others. It was no surprise that she decided to fulfill her dream and became a nurse, graduating from nursing school a few years later in Tampa, Florida. Later on, Susan met Ted Castaneda, the love of her life, and they married in May of 2001. Susan dedicated her life to her cherished family, her wonderful friends, and fulfilling work. Susan served for over 30 years as a Nursing Manager at Palm Gardens of Clearwater where she lovingly became “Mama Sue”.

Susan is preceded in death by her late husband Ted Castaneda (2003), her brother Butch Cubberley (2006), her son in law Christopher Robinson (2021), and her granddaughter Maria Serralles (2017).

Susan is survived by her daughter Alyson Robinson, her sons Robert Doyle (wife Paola), Richard Doyle (partner Matt), her sister Penny Lamond, her brother Sam Cubberley (wife Chris), her sister-in-law Eileen Cubberley, her grandchildren Robert Doyle the 3rd, Yaira Doyle, Christopher Robinson, Ava Robinson, Katherine Doyle, and Juan Serralles, her nieces and nephews Abby and Jeffery, Sammy, and Amy.

A memorial service will be scheduled at a later date.

The family of Susan wishes to extend their most sincere thanks to the medical staff and ICU nurses at St. Joseph’s Hospital-North who provided her with excellent and respectful care.
