If Alzheimer's patients don't see even their closest family members with frequent regularity, they generally become unable to remember and/or recognize them as the disease progresses. Expecting a sufferer to remember an old friend who just happens to pop by one day, isn't realistic.
If she doesn't remember you, don't try and push it; it'll just frustrate/agitate her. Relax, and resign yourself to becoming "the nice lady" who came to visit her. Just focus on bringing a little happiness to her day, to honor the friendship the two of you shared in the past.
