Phit-Phit ...
It doesn't really strike me as OCD per se, in that you are wanting to keep mementos of your grandmother as they were when she was still alive, as there are people who will keep the room / house of someone who has died under tragic circumstances in "perfect" order so as to maintain the deceased individual's "presence" just the way he / she left it prior to their deaths.
It is considered a normal grieving process.
However, with your grandmother's passing several years ago, you may want to take a closer look as to why these items mean so much to you and why you become upset when someone else moves / uses / discards / etc. said item or items. There must be a "core" reason as to why you are being so protective or possessive of them.
Do you feel that you will ultimately lose your connection with her if her items are moved, etc.?
Or depending upon your relationship with her (close, distant, estranged, etc.?) do you feel that you are trying to make amends with her by keeping everything as it was?
You'll have to take a candid look at whatever may be the root cause for you to feel / behave the way you are right now.
Take care and be well,
