O am friends with her on a social networking site so it's not hard for me to get in touch with her. We haven't spoken for maybe 8 years now. Would she want to be bothered by me or do I just get on without life's? Any suggestions? Thanks

If she seems unwilling to accept the invitation; then continue distant contact through social media. Some people just aren't that sentimental; and you should respect the boundaries of others, if they don't seem as enthused to be your friend as you may want them to be. If she seems very willing to get together, let the friendship rekindle itself slowly and don't be too pushy.
Just remember, it was a long time ago. She may not be the same person you knew eight years ago.

 A very trickey proposition indeed. Old friendships are great and rekindling them is even better BUT... You must know that life has changed both of you and your memory of the status of that old friendship may be totally different than thiers. Life happens and everything chanes including the status of relationships. what you remember as great times may not be in sync with the other person's memory. I'd suggest you locate a common friend in "those days" to help evaluate his or her thoughts of a reunion.
