History
Patsy Genevieve Sutton was born on June 13th, 1957 to Cutler and Maisie Sutton, she became the second child to the young couple. Three years before they had a son that they named Peter. Patsy was showered with love from her father and grandmother, Barbara Sutton -- who was the beholder of the Adeline Sutton Holdings. It was thought from that day forward that Patsy would be granted with the honor after her grandmother passed away. She spent the next five years being raised as the only daughter, and even won over her father’s affections over her younger brother, Patrick Sutton when he was born in 1961.
But her life changed when the learned of her father’s affair with Nancy Keeler and the child the woman bore; a daughter, named Kimberly Keeler -- who’s last name was later changed to Sutton to match the family as Cutler and Maisie took the young girl in. Because of her dedication to her husband, Maisie began to treat Kimberly better than she had Patsy and in doing so developed the rivalry between the two half-sisters.
When Patsy was in High School her grandmother passed away, which meant that it was time to find out who would gain access to the Adeline Sutton Holdings. Although everyone re-assured Patsy that she would get them, she wasn’t too sure and the night before the announcement she went out drinking with a few friends to a party up in the mountains. There she met Adam Clarke from the neighboring Wolf’s Point. They spent the entire night talking about her family and the Holdings, unaware of the approaching day. She would later find out that her grandmother had left her the Holdings and Patsy celebrated by having sex with Adam. They began dating in late 1974 but when her father found out that she was dating the son of an oil tycoon he tried to marry her off as soon as possible. Patsy didn’t want to be married at a young age and decided to break-up with Adam. Cutler grew angry at his daughter’s ‘selfish’ reasonings and informed Patsy that he would take-over Adeline Sutton Holdings if she didn’t marry Adam. Her compassion towards her family soon got the best of her, Patsy decided to marry Adam the year after she finished High School but he declined the offer.
She left Stone Creek for Cuttlebone City University in the fall. Studying Strategic Management, Patsy was surprised when Adam had followed her to Cuttlebone City and enrolled in the University the following semester. After a series of misfortunes they both finally reunited and spent the remainder of their time in Cuttlebone City together, sharing a loft in the city. The got married in 1980 and later had a daughter, Candice Maisie Clarke, in 1985.
