Miss Kay Robertson of 'Duck Dynasty' faces health decline and grief after husband Phil's death from Alzheimer’s at 79.
The Robertson family, known to millions through the hit reality series "Duck Dynasty," is navigating a heartbreaking period as Miss Kay Robertson, the cherished matriarch, faces declining health following the recent passing of her husband, Phil Robertson. At 77, Miss Kay is grappling with both physical ailments and the profound grief of losing her partner of six decades.
Her son Willie shared that Kay's health has taken a noticeable downturn, compounded by depression after Phil's death on May 25 from Alzheimer’s disease at the age of 79. "She’s lost her partner of 60 years," Willie noted, highlighting the emotional toll this loss has taken. Kay was absent from the premiere party for "Duck Dynasty: The Revival" on June 1 in Monroe, Louisiana, a clear sign of her struggles.
Earlier reports from her son Jase revealed that Kay suffered a fall in April, leading to an infection and hospitalization. Her condition has since required round-the-clock professional care. "We’re trying to help her out as much as we can," Willie added, emphasizing the family’s efforts to support her through this challenging time.
Phil’s passing has left a void in the family, with Willie reflecting on social media about his father’s faith and the lessons of sharing the Gospel. As the family revives their story with the new series, the absence of Miss Kay in later episodes underscores the gravity of her health issues. Yet, her spirit and the love of her family—affectionately dubbed "Kay’s Kingdom" by visitors—continue to shine through this somber chapter.
