If she meets the rights requirements of what Islam wants you to look for in a spouse, and there is compatibility between the two of you, and family members are all ok, you should marry her.
Yes, she went through a divorce, but it should not make her any less desirable for you to marry. She could have gone through a test in her life, and as long as she carries the religious values and akhlaq you should looking for, then that is very good.
And Allah knows best
