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.
Aggie's most rewarding job was that of being a stay-at-home mom. Because of this she was able to be a housemother to many university and college students. She served as Chairwoman for the Oneonta Blood Bank and served as a Girl Scout leader for 25 years. After moving to Bradenton Florida in 1973, Aggie landed a position as service rep with GTE and after 18 years she retired.
Preceding her in death are her spouse, Herb Sr., son Herb Jr., parents Maria and Dominick Ranieri and brother Jack Ranieri.
Remaining to cherish Aggie's memory are her daughters Pamela Maddalone, Jo Ann and Donald Palmer and daughter-in-law Patricia Ludlam. Grandchildren are Vicky-Jo Palmer and Kiel Duquette, Christina Maddalone, Robert Maddalone and Herb 3rd and Jaimi Ludlam. Great-grandchildren Jacob and Becca Sperko, Kourtney and George Garris, Sophia Maddalone-Catello, Cooper Duquette, Kayla Maddalone-Gonzales, Evelyn Ludlam and Atticus Ludlam. Her great-great grandchildren Jeremiah (JJ) Sperko and Isaac (Ike) Sperko. Her brothers John Ranieri (Mary) and Joseph Ranieri (Pearl). Her beloved nieces and nephews Daniel Ranieri, Denise and Terry O'Brien, Jack and Loretta Ranieri, Michael Ranieri, David and Tracey Ranieri, Richard and Reggie Ranieri, Gina Ranieri, Johnny Ranieri Jr. Angela & William Cleary, Joseph Ranieri Jr & Dominick & Susan Ranieri.
