Difficult "co-volunteer"?
In a couple weeks, I will be volunteering at a church event where I will be helping serve meals. The lady in in charge is VERY hard to work with. She HAS to make every decision, even the most simple ones such as which plate to put the cheese on or where to put the napkins. If I do anything on my own, she gets upset and makes me change it or changes it herself, so I have to ask before I do anything.
She works with mentally challenged young adults, so she is in an environment where they have to be told how and when to do everything and have to be closely observed, but I don't need such scrutiny.
A few people just won't work with her anymore.
How would you handle her..remember, it is a church event lasting several days.

I would go to the pastor or whomever this lady reports to and tell them everything you have just posted. You have worded your complaint very well here -- your concerns are valid and the head of the organization should hear them.
When this women changes something you have worked on, say to her, "Excuse me. I think what you are doing is inappropriate. We're all trying to help here. If you want to change something I've done, please discuss it with me first." Be calm and adult; don't be confrontational. But do bring this behavior to her attention.
