The raiders struck last Wednesday at around 4pm, breaking in by forcing the lock on the home’s conservatory doors.
She said: “They trashed the house and broke glasses.
“They stole money and a black leather jewellery box that included a silver bracelet with a blue rim that was specially made with my grandad's ashes.”
She has shared a CCTV image of men captured on camera around the time of the raid and white car also seen in the area.”

"He had a triple heart bypass in 1999 and asbestosis, and this was the reasoning why he had to retire."
He passed away, aged 79 in August 2017.
Anyone with information about the incident, or who knows the whereabouts of the distinctive bracelet, should contact South Yorkshire Police on 101 with details.
