Dora Kiesler Obituary
Family-Placed Obituary
KIESLER, Dora (nee Grasse) Died peacefully at home on December 19, 2006. She was born in Grottau, Reichenberg in 1910 and lived the first part of her life in Austria, migrating then to Boliva and later to the U.S. She attended German University in Prage and the Sorbone University in Paris obtaining a doctorate in Romance Languages. She was preceded in death by her husband Paul Kiesler M.D. and her sister Christina. Throughout her life she was a teacher of French and German and enjoyed bridge and horseback riding as pastimes and was an insatiable reader. She was an active member of Heathergreen Senior Center in Centerville and attended St. Albert's Church. Dora is survived by her daughter Dolly, son-in-law Jorge Crespo, and her grandchildren Paula (Eric Weil) and Daniela. The family will receive friends on Tuesday, December 26, 2006 from 5 to 7 PM at their home to commemorate Dora. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Salud Community Clinic at 8365 State Route 202, Tipp City, OH 45371. Condolences may be sent to tobiasfuneralhome.com.

Mother, Mother-in-law, Grandmother She was all of these and then some. She was your friend and your friends, friend. She brought joy and fun to your lives and to the life's of those who knew her well. Unfortunately I did not have the privilege of seeing her in her prime. But the warm stories of her; told by her family and friends, made me wish I had.
Her family and their love for her says it all about the kind of person she was and the influence she had on them.
