Henter Lee “Doc” Blevins, D.D.S., 83, of Hardyville, passed away on Thursday, Sept. 14, 2023.
Lee Blevins was born in Woodstock to the late Lucas Henter Blevins, D.D.S., and Jean Heneveld Blevins.
He attended the Randolph-Macon Academy in Front Royal for four years before graduating from Washington-Lee High School in Arlington. He graduated from the University of Richmond and subsequently completed dental school at the Medical College of Virginia in 1966. Dr. Blevins initially joined his father’s dental practice before beginning his own career in Midlothian in the early 1970s. He later joined with Dr. Jerry Jenkins to form the first group practice in the area. He retired from dentistry in 2007 and moved full-time to “the rivah.” Dr. Blevins was a member of the Richmond Dental Society and was an avid scuba diver, fisherman, quail hunter and outdoorsman.
