That fact was only mentioned in an interview with JKR with Barnes & 
Noble.com. 

Susan's grandparents were mentioned in a group of "some of the best 
witches and wizards of the age" by Hagrid in SS when he's telling 
Harry about Voldemort, although we aren't told then their 
relationship to Susan. Later, we meet Susan briefly when she is 
sorted into Hufflepuff, but still aren't told that there is a 
connection to the folks killed by Voldemort. Those are the only times 
we hear anything of Susan or her family. 

JKR was asked in that interview if there was a connection between 
Susan and the Bones that Hagrid mentioned and JKR said that the Bones 
who were killed were Susan's grandparents.
