She was born and raised in Nelson County’s Rockfish Valley on September 26, 1923, a daughter of the late John and Sally (Rittenhouse) Phillips. She married John “Jack” Henderson Revercomb, who preceded her in death on January 4, 1979.

Dorothy graduated from Bridgewater College, then received her masters from James Madison before spending 41 years teaching in the Augusta County Public Schools system. Her first teaching job was in Deerfield, then to Churchville and Beverly Manor and retiring from Deerfield.

She was a member of Deerfield Baptist Church and the Sarah Murry Lewis Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

In addition to her parents and husband, she was predeceased by a son, John Arch Revercomb on November 2, 1990; five brothers, John, Joe, Zack, William and Freddie Phillips; and four sisters, Annie, Ruby, Louise and Elizabeth.
