Virginian Pilot Feb 11,  2002
NORFOLK -- Aileen Black Gustin went to her eternal home Friday. She was the 
daughter of the late Aileen Taylor Black and the late Barron Foster Black.
She is survived by her husband, Harry N. Gustin and her beloved sons, Walter 
Bramblette Martin III and his wife, Paloma Munoz Martin, of New York and 
Barron Black Martin and his wife, Ann Johnston Martin, of Annapolis, Md. She 
was the proud grandmother of Sarah Bramblette Martin and Barron Black Martin 
Jr. also of Annapolis. She is also survived by two sisters, Anna Black Hudgins 
and Jane Black Clark.
A remarkably giving person, Aileen's joy came from reaching out to others with 
encouraging words and caring ways. She treasured her relationships with people 
and saw Christ reflected in those around her. Consequently, her spirit will 
live on in the hearts of those she touched from many different walks of life.
For Aileen, life was filled with love of beauty, which was portrayed in her 
home and love for flowers. She was able to capture the beauty of her 
surroundings as an artist later in life. On April 21, 2001 at the Hermitage 
Museum, there was an exhibit of Aileen's paintings, especially landscapes and 
still lifes. To quote Catherine Dorsey of The Virginian-Pilot, ``Gustin has 
developed her own unique style that tells of her love for her garden and the 
community. Here are life's small and most important pleasures: the ones that 
can't be bought.'' The opening was followed by a reception, and the exhibit, 
originally planned for a two-week period, remained on display for
several months. In addition to being an artist, Aileen nurtured her spiritual 
life in prayer and studying God's Word, both individually and in fellowship 
with others.
Aileen's main interest in the community were her involvement with the Norfolk 
Historic Foundation and the Hermitage Foundation Board. She was a lifelong 
member of Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd, and a member of St. Mark's 
Episcopal Church on Marco Island, Fla.
A memorial service will be conducted at 2 p.m. Tuesday at the Episcopal Church 
of the Good Shepherd in Norfolk. Memorial donations may be made to the 
Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd, 7400 Hampton Blvd., Norfolk, VA, 23505, 
or to a charity of one's choice. H.D. Oliver Funeral Apts., Norfolk Chapel, is 
handling arrangements.
