When in doubt, use the word 'that'. It is usually never wrong to include the word 'that' after 'she said'. However, in a lot of cases, 'that' can be omitted and the sentence will not loose it's meaning.

That means the following two sentences would have the same meaning:
1. She said that she was tired.
2. She said she was tired.
