Aggie was born in Queens, NY on March 29,1929 to Dominic and Maria Rustica Ranieri. She graduated from Oneonta High School in 1947. Aggie met the love of her life, Herbert H Ludlam, Sr. and they were married on August 14, 1949, in St. Mary's Catholic Church in Oneonta, NY. Sadly, after 57 years of marriage, Herb Sr. passed away in 2007 after a long illness.

After moving to Bradenton Florida in 1973, Aggie landed a position as service rep with GTE and after 18 years she retired.
