Geez, Doreen!

Try reading the book. Another re-read and a trip to the Lexicon 
cleared this up for me just fine.

The Memory Charm that was put on Bertha was done by Barty Crouch when 
Bertha discovered that Barty Crouch Jr. was alive & well at the 
Crouch residence.

Sorry to have taken up space on that question
