Funny thing happened after I wrote about that old house I lived in (shocking even)

I was called in to work today to help out today, with two shipments being delivered and one person sick. Yesterday, I wrote about a house I lived in for a while back in the 1970s, in another life time actually.
When I got to work, I learned that the woman I had been married to way back then, living in that house, had called the store looking for me. That was a shock! I mean it has been a long, long time since 1978 or so when we parted ways. We talked, maybe ten years ago, she had never remarried, been in thwarted relationships since then and we talked for about ten minutes. She tried contacting me through Facebook once, but I ignored that.
How did she find out I was working at a Wild Birds store? I guess I posted it here and maybe on FB. Some women at work who took the call are kidding me about having a stalker.
I believe that the past is just that, the past, and have no desire to communicate with this woman.
Am I heartless or realistic? She will call the store again. Maybe I should tell them to say I quit or died or something?
What would you do? What a coincidence!

@JamesHxstatic Do not talk to her again, your wife might get hurt or jealous.

If she calls when I am there, I will take it. I mentioned this to my wife already. Good advice.

That's odd. I would just tell her politely that you don't want to talk to her.

Did you parted ways amicably? I have a feeling you are avoiding her because you don't want to dredge up painful memories. That is understandable. They say "Time heals all wounds". Unless your present situation rules out this possibility, perhaps talk to her to find out the reason why she's looking for you?

I am married and she knows that, she has no reason to look for me that I can see.

Our parting was not pleasant, by the way, but many years ago.

@JamesHxstatic Is it possible that she is in some sort of 12-step program and is seeking to make amends? Just a thought.

That depend. If you are remarried or not. If you had a bad relationship with her in the past, it would make it hard to go and talk to her. There I a wonder in all that, what does she has in mind, what does she want to talk about. You will never know if you don't talk to her.

She has not called back so I will let it go. We really have nothing to talk about.

She obviously left no memories behind as far as you are concerned. I'd forget about her, her motives might not be the best now if she has fallen on difficult times.

I will do that if she calls when I am there. Very strange. What could she need to say after all these years?

I thought it was cut many years ago. My end was anyway.

Occasionally, ex-girlfriends try to get hold of me for whatever reason. I just ignore them. Don't know how that would work if she's calling at work, though.

She may not call again and I am only there part-time, so she may give up.

I would face her and ask what it is all about if i were you to end all the guessing once and for all. Oh yes don't forget to let us know and report back to us

You can always tell her it's a business and you can't be tying up the line for personal reasons so don't call there unless it's business. And if she asks for your home phone simply tell her no.
