Auntie Barbara
Yes, almost everybody calls me that now. Barbara Goetz has been in business for 11 years now, and is the sole owner of Auntie Barbara’s Bed, Bath & Biscuit, Inc. I have one child a mutt named Penelope who is the love of my life. I hold a degree in Microbiology and have had many different careers. I worked for Eli Lilly in Indianapolis, did marketing and public relations work and sailed cruise ships as a Cruise Director for 12 years. After the loss of my parents and many changes in my life my business was born, I guess you could say I have gone to the dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, and the occasional bird.
