First, welcome back. I know we had a little disagreement and I regretted cutting you off. So, I welcome being able to resume our connection.
Second, it seems to me from a great distance that she is probably mentally ill. I guess you can report her to the police when she harasses you. After that, there is not much you can do. If you know any of her relatives you can talk to them. I'm sorry you are experiencing this. By the way, if she is age 50 she is not among the elderly. It is really good that you have understanding neighbors.
I WISH I had thought to say "No" when a sketchy guy asked for my phone number when I had just turned 18. But due to my Catholic upbringing, and a years-long hijacking of my brain cells, I said yes. And then I gave him my ACTUAL phone number. As you have probably guessed, the guy called me up and I went on a date rape. Mamas, teach your daughters to say no. And absolutely say no to the Patriarchy (they hide behind religion.) Say NO when your inner voice kicks in and says NO.

I am with you as to the real importance of using NO at times; does using that word at work make a difference?
It might depending on the circumstances and reasons why someone needs to say no, like being told to do something unethical or harmful.

Yes
I am so sorry that happened to you. Of course you were young and at that age we do not use common sense.
One more thing. I urge you to avoid her and not speak to her if possible.
