Walter Odell Revis, Sr.

Walter Odell Revis, Sr., born on August 30, 1934, in Baltimore, Maryland, was a cherished son of the late Florence Mae Scarboro Revis and Otis Odell Revis. A devoted resident of Ocean City, Maryland since 1994, Walter had previously spent 29 years in Glen Burnie, where he built a life marked by service, dedication, and a love for nature.

For 31 years, Walter pursued a distinguished career as an electronics technician at Westinghouse, now Northrop Grumman, in Linthicum. His commitment to community was deeply evident during his years in Glen Burnie, where he was an active member of St. John’s Lutheran Church and Peace Lutheran Church, now known as Rejoice Fellowship. He also selflessly served as a firefighter and EMT with the Ferndale Volunteer Fire Department. Upon relocating to Ocean City, Walter continued his community involvement by serving with the Block Watch at Montego Bay.

Walter’s passions extended beyond his professional and community endeavors. He was an avid enthusiast of duck hunting, fishing, boating, camping, and travel, delighting in the simple pleasure of watching the water glisten from his home. His love for the outdoors and his family created a life rich in meaningful experiences.

He was predeceased by his brothers, Raymond Lee Revis and Ralph Theodore Revis. Walter leaves behind his beloved wife, Joan Ann Shelepet Revis of Ocean City; his son, Walter O. Revis, Jr., and his partner, Joan Forrester of Glen Burnie; his daughter, Beverly Elizabeth Wells, and her partner, Ralph White of Lewes, DE; grandsons David Wells and his wife Kaitlyn, and Brian Wells; as well as great-grandchildren Elijah and Paxton Wells.

Walter Odell Revis, Sr. passed away peacefully on April 24, 2026, at the Mackey and Pam Stansell House Coastal Hospice. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all whose lives he touched, a testament to a life well lived and a legacy of kindness, service, and love.
