Thank you Donna S!

I've figured out who her parents are based on the 1850 census which includes her widowed mother (listed incorrectly as Widow William Campbell) along with sibling Georges age 19; Louisa, age 17; Celeste, age 13; Nelly, age 11; and Elizabeth, age 8. All living in St. Landry Parish.

Researching her siblings I found the following baptism and/or marriage records naming the parents (all entries from Southwest Louisiana Records CD 1750-1900 by Rev. Donald J. Hebert):
*KIMBALL, George (George KEMBEL & Caroline BORDELON) b. 22 Sept. 1832, bt. 13 Aug. 1833 Pats: West KEMBEL & Elisabeth KEMBEL; Mats: Nicolas BORDELON & Marie WAIBLE [WYBLE]; Spons: Yves D'AVY & Celeste FONTENOT. Fr. Flavius Henri ROSSI (Opel. Ch.: v.3, p.247)
*KIMBALL, Louise (George & Caroline BORDELON) b. 24 Nov. 1833 (Opel. Ch.: v. 3, p. 294)
*KIMBALL, Nelly (Wade & Caroline BORDELON) m. 8 May 1866 William H. LEWIS (Opel. Ch.: v. 2, p. 345)

And then found the parent's marriage record:
*KIMBALL, George W. of Feliciana Parish (Wade & Elizabeth KIMBAL) m. 23 Dec. 1830 Caroline BORDELON (Opel. Ct.Hse.: Mar.#57)
*BORDELON, Caroline (Michel & Marie WEBB) m. 23 Dec. 1830 George KIMBAL of Feliciana Parish (Opel. Ct.Hse.: Mar.#57)

I was finally able to find Elizabeth's baptism record as well although it was mistakenly listed under Campbell:
*CAMPBELL, Elizabeth (Wade & Caroline BORDELON) bt. 26 Sept. 1859 at age 17 years (Opel. Ch.: v.6, p.97)
