Once again, thank you to everyone who commented. Things have certainly taken some dramatic turns since my original post. I tried to work this out by ignoring her. Didn't work. I tried to work it out by talking to her about it, didn't work. Her behavior towards me was simply unbearable. So I did what I did not want to do. I went to the Vice President of our department and discussed it with him. He assured me he would handle it. I'm not sure what he did or how, but things are finally back to normal. She was quite upset with me, and made a few snide comments to me in a round about way. She missed a day of work and when she returned, everything was amicable again. Not sure if it will remain peaceful, but at least I'm not stressed and angered at the moment. So all is well that ends well....That's if it was actually the end.

I agree with the comments about sisters needing to build a network of support for each other. But if one extends an olive branch and the other doesn't receive it, what do you do?
