Just weeks after the loss of Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson, the family is facing another emotional blow — this time concerning Miss Kay Robertson, the beloved matriarch who stood beside Phil for more than 55 years. In an emotional and urgent update shared just 37 minutes ago from West Monroe, Louisiana, Willie Robertson revealed that his 77-year-old mother is now in very poor condition, both physically and emotionally, as she struggles to cope with the overwhelming grief of losing her husband.
“I’ve never seen my mom like this,” Willie shared. “She’s always been the rock of our family. But this has shaken her to the core.”
Known to fans simply as “Miss Kay,” Kay Robertson became a national icon through Duck Dynasty, widely admired for her gentle heart, deep faith, and the unwavering devotion she showed Phil through even the most difficult seasons of their life together. Their marriage, built on years of trials, forgiveness, and transformation, became a testimony to the power of love and redemption.
But now, without her lifelong partner, Miss Kay is facing what Willie described as “a storm she never expected to weather alone.”
“She’s struggling with deep sadness. She’s weak, she’s tired, and the grief has started to take a toll on her health,” Willie explained. “We’ve brought in help, we’re surrounding her with love, but she needs more than what we can give — she needs your prayers.”
Family members have rallied around Miss Kay, doing everything they can to care for her. According to Willie, she is receiving medical attention and emotional support, but her condition has grown more concerning in recent days, particularly due to loss of appetite, fatigue, and emotional withdrawal.
“We’ve all lost someone irreplaceable,” he added. “But to my mom, this wasn’t just her husband — this was her best friend, her partner in everything. Since she was a teenager, she’s never really known life without him.”
The outpouring of love from fans and friends across the country has already begun, with messages of encouragement flooding the Robertsons’ social media pages. Many have shared how Phil and Miss Kay’s story shaped their own relationships and faith, reminding them what true commitment looks like.
Willie closed his message with a note of hope:
“Mom is hurting, but she’s still here — and I know Dad would want us to take care of her the way she always took care of him. Please join us in lifting her up. She’s strong, but even the strongest hearts need help sometimes.”
As the family grieves, they are leaning on the very foundation that held them together all these years — faith, prayer, and love. And now, they ask their extended Duck Dynasty family to do the same.
