Just 45 minutes ago, from West Monroe, Louisiana, Alan Robertson — the eldest son of Duck Dynasty icons Phil and Kay Robertson — shared an urgent and heartbreaking update about his beloved mother, Kay Robertson, known to millions as “Miss Kay.” At 77, Miss Kay is now in critical condition, and the family is asking for prayers as she continues to struggle with overwhelming grief and health complications following the recent death of her husband, Phil Robertson.
In a message filled with emotion, Alan addressed his followers on social media and in a short recorded video, sharing that Miss Kay’s condition has taken a serious turn, and that the family is doing everything they can to care for her in these fragile days.
“We’ve always said Mom was the heart of this family,” Alan said. “And right now, her heart is broken. The grief of losing Dad has affected her deeper than any of us expected.”
Miss Kay and Phil were married for over five decades — a union marked by both heartbreak and redemption. Their story of enduring love, grounded in faith and perseverance, captured the hearts of viewers around the world. But now, with Phil gone, Kay is reportedly battling a combination of emotional and physical decline, including fatigue, loss of appetite, and mounting complications due to age and stress.
“She’s not just sad,” Alan explained. “She’s fading. It’s like a part of her went with him.”
The Robertson family has called in medical care and spiritual counselors to be with Miss Kay, while Alan, Willie, Jase, Jep, and the rest of the family remain by her side — singing hymns, reading Scripture, and surrounding her with love and prayer.
Fans across the country have already begun flooding social media with tributes and well-wishes for Miss Kay, who has long been admired for her gentleness, hospitality, and strength through adversity. Messages from fellow believers, Duck Dynasty fans, and friends in the faith community have poured in, creating a virtual prayer chain for the woman so many consider a spiritual mother figure.
“She held us together when Dad was lost,” Alan added. “Now we’re trying to hold her together while she hurts. And we know we can’t do it alone.”
As the family continues to walk through this valley of sorrow, they remain anchored in their faith — the same faith Miss Kay clung to during the hardest days of their marriage, and the same faith that led Phil to redemption.
“We trust God,” Alan concluded. “Whatever happens, we know He is with her. But please — keep praying. She’s not just our mom. She’s our treasure.”
