Jamie Willis, a Mattoon resident, has known Worden for about 15 years.
"She's one of those people I felt like I've always known," she said.
Willis and Worden had taken a 'spinners and weavers' class and worked together in Booth Library.
Willis remembers asking Worden for a particular subject she was having trouble finding in the library.
Without looking at a thing, she went through the aisles and walked right up to the book and flipped a few pages and found it.
"She has a background in botanical and a mind like a steel trap," Willis said. "She has her own unique style and if you knew her personality and seen her work, they're one and the same."
Charleston resident, Sue Yocum, has known Worden for 14 years.
The longtime friends used to take midnight walks after working at Booth.
"In general, any time I do something with Jackie, it turns into an adventure. It always gets kind of silly and fun-loving," Yocum said. "Jackie's a very fun-loving person and she's very creative."
