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.
