Berthe LeRoy was Mahala Douglas'(Mrs. Walter Donald Douglas) French maid. ET doesn't seem to have much on her. Did she follow Mrs. Douglas to Minnesota and California? Mike Herbold
I don't know how long she might have continued in Mrs. Douglas's employ, but she eventually returned to her native Hersin-Compeigne, France where she died July 7, 1972 just short of her 88th birthday.
