THEN she didn't talk to me for 7 months and when she finally did it was basically Amway propoganda. I wrote back a letter basically saying that I didn't like her church, her husband, Amway and didn't really see any reason to continue the friendship since we struggled to find anything to talk about. I've never spoken to her since, although I wonder at times what's become of her.

This sounds earily like a friend break up I had. I was asked to be her maid of honor after we hadn;t spoken for a long time, and the whole time leading up to the wedding, and especially the day were very uncomfortable. She and her husband are into Quixtar (basically online amway) and tried quite a few times to sell to my friends an I.
Eventually you just have to either sit her down and explain how you feel, or go the route you have already started down, just stop contact.
I think it's hard to "break up" with a friend whom you have been close with but now have drifted apart. I've done it a couple of times recently. I guess there's just a point in you life where you go different directions.
