BATON ROUGE— J. Wheeler Parker III is honoring his late sister with a scholarship in the LSU College of Agriculture. The Kimberly Parker Wolverton Endowed Scholarship honors the memory of Wolverton, who died in a car wreck in May 1999 at the age of 34. “Kimberly was the type of person that when she walked into a room, everybody’s mood got better,” Parker said.
