In 1964, they moved back to Akeley and worked various jobs until they purchased the grocery store in 1966. In 1967, Vincent was born. Frank and Deloris owned the grocery store 30 years. While working at the store, she began catering and decorating cakes. She was a very gifted and accomplished cake and cookie decorator and received many praises and referrals.
