How old are the children?

Any idea how long she worked there? If it was less than 5 years, and she was younger than age 26 when she left, it is unlikely she had any entitlement to a 'deferred' pension.

Even if she did leave service with the right to a pension, it would be tiny - and the children would normally only be eligible for a pension based on a small %age of that until they reach the age of 18 (or with Trustee consent age 23 if they are in full time education/vocational training).

It appears that the company was sold to  Dairy Crest.
Just possible you might find some help here.

Not just how long she worked there, but how long she was in the pension scheme. There may have been a minimum age for joining and she was too young to join immediately, or there may have been a 'waiting period' before she was allowed to join - two years was very common. The other possibility was that women weren't admitted to the scheme at all, which in those days was perfectly legal.

Please turn your caps lock key off. 

It's very unlikely the children will be due anything especially assuming they are all in their mid 20's or older. 

My condolences on your loss. I take it your sister was not old enough to be getting the pension?

If your sister was 57 when she died in 2018, then she would have been very young indeed in the 1980s - very late teens/early 20s. As pointed out above, she would have (almost certainly) have needed at least five years of pension scheme membership AND be aged at least 26 when she left to get the benefit of a future pension.
