Stacey Kay Anderson was born on Aug. 23, 1965, in Albert Lea, the daughter of Dale and Nancy (Rippentrop) Anderson. She grew up in Albert Lea and graduated from Albert Lea High School in 1983 and from Austin Community College in 1986. Stacey married Randy Charlton at The Little Brown Church in Nashua, Iowa, in 1988. They later divorced. She was baptized and confirmed at Salem Lutheran Church. Stacey managed many different apartment complexes in Minnesota, Kansas and Oklahoma. Most recently she worked for American Eagle in Ottawa, Kansas.
