What’s good for 1 person doesn’t seem to be good for another

So I am a cook at an assisted living facility. We have 2 positions within our kitchen: cook & dietary aid. Cooks can do it all: cook, serve, clean, wash dishes, etc. Not all dietary aids can cook tho. We have an aid, who doesn't cook, who moves things around & rearranges things in kitchen areas, manager's office, & dining room constantly. She only consults with a few coworkers. When a few of us move things from how she has them she gets irritated & sends texts to that person with questions & demands we not move things. It gets to the point where, when I moved some silverware from one holder to another & she got mad, I told myself I would stop helping set tables. What to do about what she does? Calling her out on it would just be an uphill battle & wouldn't get me anywhere.
