Reva was born April 27, 1939, in Charles Town. She is the daughter of the late Calvin Lee and Mary (Royston) Nicodemus.

Eventually she went back to work as an Elementary Guidance Counselor in Boyce, Virginia, where she stayed until her retirement. Reva was a faithful member of the Asbury United Methodist Church in Charles Town, and served as a Worthy Matron at the Charles Town Lodge #128 Order of The Eastern Star. She was actively involved in West Virginia Democratic Politics, earning the high honor of being named the West Virginia Democrat of the Year in 2010, and serving as Chair of the local Democratic Committee for many years. Reva was a founding member of the Jefferson County 4-H Foundation, and a 4-H leader with the Bullskin Happy Workers for over 15 years.
