DOROTHY
TESSLER, 102, of
Bloomfield Hills,
died Aug. 18,
2022.
She lived a long
and full life grounded in love
and optimism. Throughout
her 102 years, she connected
meaningfully with nearly
everyone she encountered,
from family members to
casual acquaintances. She
listened intently and had a
magical ability to look into
someone’s eyes and make
them feel seen and special.
Her compliments were
endless and yet always sincere
because she saw the best
in everyone and couldn’t
restrain herself from sharing
her warm thoughts. To know
Dorothy was to feel loved and
valued, and she was rewarded
in return with the admiration
and adoration of everyone
around her. She will be dearly
missed and remembered with
the warmth and love that she
so freely gave.
