The San Diego Union-Tribune Pacific Rim; Southern California At age 5, Nina Barlow Hust would sit outside the room in which her older sister was taking piano lessons, listening eagerly to the teacher's every word. When she had heard enough, she would rush home to test her knew-found knowledge on the piano. Mrs. Hust, who became a church organist and pianist and professional music teacher, died Jan. 1 in a nursing home in Ogden, Utah. She was 87. For more than 50 years, Mrs. Hust taught and played keyboard in San Diego. She lived in Normal Heights before moving four years ago to Salt Lake City, where music continued to be major part of her life before she suffered a recent fall. She was musical director in San Diego for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and once was invited to play the organ used by the famed Tabernacle Choir in Salt Lake City. Mrs. Hust was born in Murray, Utah, to a musical family. Her parents sang in the church choir, two sisters played piano, one played violin and another sang. She was 5 when her mother gave her two quarters for her first piano lesson, said Barbara Teemsma, a longtime friend. Over the years, Mrs. Hust taught several styles of music from classical to pop, responding to the desires of her younger students. She belonged to the Organ Guild of San Diego. Mrs. Hust is survived by two daughters, Maxine McKinley of Ogden and Charlene Soderquist of Salt Lake City; three sisters, Josie Smith of Salt Lake City, Ruth Gonzales of Texas, and Maurine Clayton of Orange; a brother, Joseph Barlow, of Connecticut; 11 grandchildren and 26 great-grandchildren. Services were Jan. 4 in Salt Lake City. |
