History
Born out of an affair that Cutler Sutton had with his then secretary, Nancy Keeler; Kimberly Michelle Keeler was born on July 9th, 1958 and spent most of her childhood on the outskirts of Stone Creek with her mother and younger brother, Seth Keeler, who was the product of another affair that Nancy had. Growing up as a poor little girl taught Kimberly how to be resourceful she would help her mother make money around the house by selling the vegetables that she grew in her backyard. When she was eight years old, the affair between her mother and Cutler was discovered and to save face, Maisie Sutton insisted Cutler take full custody of the little girl. So Kimberly moved into the Holly Oak Manor and upon Maisie’s request, her last name was changed to Sutton.
Because most of the children her age knew about her past; Kimberly was often teased about her father’s infidelity and her mother’s morals. Often she would be rescued by her older half-sister, Patsy Sutton, and her half brother, Seth Keeler, but other other Sutton children tended to ignore Kimberly. She spent most of her days investing time in reading up on the modern business world in her father’s study while her siblings were out with their friends. Although her relationship with Maisie wasn’t the best, her step-mother smothered Kimberly during social events.
Kimberly went to Cuttlebone University after High School and obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration, her interested peaked as far a Legal Management while attending University. In 1979 Kimberly graduated from Cuttlebone University, and received a job with her father’s company as an Office Manager. She began dating a man named Grant Conway that year so her father could acquire a joint-partnership with Grant’s father. This allowed Cutler to obtain Southern California as a profitable consumer for Sutton Enterprises. Her relationship with Grant became violent and while she wanted to please her father, Kimberly tried to work through it. But things escalated between the two. One night Grant sent Kimberly to the emergency room where she broke-up with him and single-handedly dissolved the partnership between Cutler Sutton and Grant’s father.
She would later marry a kind-hearted man, in 1982 named Lewis Dower in order for her father to buy-out his grandfather’s software companies. After the hard relationship she had with Grant, Kimberly was still vulnerable, the years of taunting from her childhood would also rise up and Kimberly fell into a depression. Her depression thickened when her father died in a car accident the following year. Although Lewis tried to comfort her, Kimberly felt unworthy of his affection. After four years of marriage to Lewis, Kimberly asked for a divorce. It wasn’t until later in 1989 that she would admit to suffering from a miscarriage in which led to her divorce from Lewis. But by then, their relationship was unsalvageable and Lewis had already left Stone Creek behind.
Kimberly became close friends with the family outcast, Charlene Sutton, in her early years of marriage to Patrick. When Patrick prepared a corporate seizure of Sutton Enterprises it was Patsy and Kimberly who advised their brother not to cause troubles for the family. Patrick became CEO of Sutton Enterprises and ordered his older brother, Peter Sutton, to leave Stone Creek.
1989 brought a new Kimberly to the surface, she decided to move out of the Holly Oak Manor after moving back in following her divorce and looked to the future of owning her own company. A quick romance with a dashing and adventurous man named Denver Hazel led to Kimberly developing a photography company with him. They named the company LiveStock Studios and in Winter of 1990 they were married. But as quick as their marriage was, the romance fizzled out through the stress of owning a company together. Denver got a photography offer in Seattle and without notice he filed divorce papers and left Kimberly. She would later close the doors of LiveStock Studios and opened up a restaurant named GoodTimes Grill in hopes to get her out of the funk that had become her life.
While trying to keep her business afloat, Kimberly, met a man named Michael Baez. He became an investor in her company and the two began dating later that year. She would constantly defuse her advances to move their relationship to the next level, however, as Kimberly knew getting involved with another business associate was a bad idea. Michael took her on a trip to Paris in which he proposed and Kimberly began dreaming of the fairy tale life that she had always wanted. She married Michael in 1993 but they only stood married for two short years and he pulled his investment out of GoodTimes Grill. She sold the restaurant out of anger. The following year in 1996 her brother, Patrick Sutton, named her a Board Member of Sutton Enterprise to accompany the shares she inherited.
Christopher Anderson swooped Kimberly off her feet in 1997 and proposed marriage to her. After the series of marriages and divorces she had in Stone Creek, Kimberly decided to move to Connecticut with Christopher and settle down. Although her family didn’t agree with her decision, Kimberly left anyways. They were married in Summer of 1997 and tried to conceive a child two years after that. But there was nothing that could be done and they gave-up altogether. Kimberly often blamed it on a curse that she thought she had for being the product of an affair between her parents. Living the life of a home owner, Kimberly became comfortable with her easy lifestyle which was a far cry from her upbringing as a small child.
Later in 2008, Christopher Anderson asked for a divorce and gave her their home in Connecticut to reside in. He moved to California in order to work for his father at his winery. Kimberly busied herself with the life she cut-out for herself, often keeping in contact with her family in Stone Creek.
