Arlene Goldstein was born in Buffalo, in 1926 to parents Abraham and Fannie Carrel, and she graduated from Lafayette High School and the New York School of Interior Design. Before marriage she worked as an interior designer, but after the birth of her children, she left the paid workforce and became a very active volunteer with many Jewish and non-Jewish organizations. She returned to work in the family business Liberty Loan Company (1901-1999), after the death of her husband Jack Goldstein who had served as President at the company.

Jack Goldstein was born in Syracuse in 1921 and attended Syracuse University. During the war he served in the U.S. Army Signal Corps and then on return to the US enrolled at the Wharton School on the GI Bill. In 1947, before completing his thesis, he moved to Buffalo and began working at Glickstein’s Jewelers, where he worked as advertising and merchandising manager for almost 20 years. In the late 1950s, he began work at Liberty Loan Co., an independent finance company, where he spent the next thirty years.
