Mrs Farenden - whose house faces the park - said: 'The knife blade was still in her, but I didn't see it because it was dark.
'I didn't realise at the time, but then all I kept thinking once the police told me was "have I put the knife in further by giving her compressions?"'
She added: 'It was horrific, it was just the blood. There must've been two pints of blood. There was so much of it.
'The girl was moaning, but she was mostly silent. We checked her pulse and we could hear her breathing.'
Debbie Chesney, Jodie's grandmother, said: 'We don't want anyone else to go through what our family is suffering right now'
Mrs Farenden was in the kitchen when her son, who was playing X-Box, heard screaming and said 'mum, somebody is shouting "help" from the park.'
She said: 'I was in the kitchen and I thought I'd better check it out just in case.
'I never thought in a million years that I was coming out to a murder and that I would be walking out to a young lady who had been stabbed.'
The mother found the victim lying on her back in the corner of the park with her boyfriend beside her, who was also white.
She said she put the girl in the recovery position and administered CPR.
'People are scared to help, but all I was thinking with my mother's instinct was "I need to help," she said.
'Her boyfriend did everything he could. When I came over she was on her back so I moved her onto her side.
'Then the boyfriend's friend came over with some kitchen roll. Then there was another girl and a man came over in a van to help and took his coat off to keep it on the wound and keep it compressed as much as they could.
'I think he was the dad of one of the boyfriend's friends. I was just trying to keep her legs in the recovery position because she was heavy, like a dead weight.
'Just as the ambulance crew turned up, she had gone. It was devastating.'
Paramedics battled to save the victim who died in the play park an hour later.
One of her friends told the Mirror: 'She was just the most happy person, she never stopped smiling.'
Mrs Farenden said it is the first time in the 16 years she has lived by the park that 'anything like this has happened'.
She said: 'It is so traumatic - she is not going to have any children, she is not going to get married - it has all been taken away.
'She was such an attractive girl and her boyfriend was a lovely looking lad.
'She was white and she had long blonde or light brown hair and glasses.
'It just seems so random; it must've been horrific for her boyfriend and those other young people there to experience.
'It is just unreal - I think "God, it could have been my daughter.''

Jodie Chesney, 17, was brutally stabbed to death in a park in Romford last night
A ‘happy’ 17-year-old girl scout was stabbed to death as she sat on a park bench with her boyfriend in east London becoming the 18th murder victim in the capital this year.
Witnesses heard screams...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
