Myra Baxter

In Loving Memory of Myra Jean Schmitt Rowe Wall Baxter

Myra passed away peacefully on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, in Mobile, Alabama. She was surrounded by love-her daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter were by her side.

Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, Myra carried the heart and soul of the city with her throughout her life-its warmth, resilience, history, and spirit were always part of who she was.

A woman of strong Catholic faith, Myra was a devoted mother, grandmother, and a friend to all who knew her. She is survived by her three children: Rebecca Wall Mullins (Bo), Travis Wall, and Clint Wall (Jenny). Six grandchildren, Aidan Mullins, Quintin Wall, Amelie Mullins, Johnny Wall, Amelia Wall, and Max Wall, nephews Eric, Chris, and Alan Adelberg, each of whom she loved deeply and unconditionally.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Carlie Baxter Jr. and her beloved sister, Carol Adelberg, as well as a litany of others. She was a graduate of St. Joseph's high school and began her professional journey at the American Bureau of Shipping in New Orleans. Later, she moved to Mobile, Al and founded C. Baxter & Associates with her husband. Her intelligence, integrity, and dedication were well respected in the maritime community. Myra's true joy came from her family and moments that filled her life. She loved to laugh, cherished quiet snuggles with her children and grandchildren, and found constant companionship in her beloved dog, Greg. Her hidden talents were displayed in her love of ceramics and art. She had a way of making the little things feel important and meaningful. Her family was always at the center of her heart, and her care for their well-being was steady and unwavering. She was the rock of the family.

Myra will be remembered for her warm laughter, her strength of spirit, and the way she made everyone feel valued and loved.
