Lindsey Wilson establishes scholarship to honor Joshua Phipps By Venus Popplewell LWC Director of Public Relations A new Lindsey Wilson College scholarship will honor the memory and service of a Russell County sheriff's deputy who was killed this year in the line of duty.

Phipps served with the Russell County Sheriff's Office for three years and previously served with the Louisville Metro Police Department.

"This scholarship will be awarded perpetually, ensuring that Joshua's legacy continues to positively shape Adair County and Russell County students for many years. The scholarship is a testament to the enduring legacy of Joshua's service and love for others, ensuring that his memory lives on in the hearts and minds of future generations of Lindsey Wilson graduates." 2024-12-10 16:26:54 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Lindsey Wilson College
