Miss Kay “Is Not In The Best Of Health” As She Mourns The Loss Of Her Husband, Phil Robertson
Duck Dynasty star Kay Robertson has been struggling with her health for months. She and her husband, Phil, had to leave their beloved Louisiana home earlier this year due to their respective health issues. Phil had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and a blood disorder, while Miss Kay suffered a severe fall that led to an infection.
The couple also had to be separated after Kay’s fall. She remained in the hospital while she recovered, then moved to a rehab facility for a short time before finally reuniting with her husband.
Sadly, both Phil and Kay’s conditions continued to worsen. Their son, Willie, told Us Weekly in mid-May that Kay, “has shown the same type of symptoms of Alzheimer’s or dementia” as Phil.
Phil Robertson passed away on May 25 at the age of 79. His death led to an outpouring of tributes from his family members, with many recognizing his greatest loves: God, duck hunting, family, and Kay.
Phil was laid to rest during a private family service on May 29. The Robertsons later shared a video of the entire service so Phil’s fans can honor and remember him.
One week after Phil’s death, Willie spoke with USA Today to share an update on Kay. Unfortunately, she isn’t doing well.
“Kay is not in the best of health,” Willie said. “We’re trying to help her out as much as we can.”
Willie admitted that Phil’s death has severely affected his mom’s health. “Some of it is she is just depressed. She lost her partner of 60 years.“
Kay’s Daughter-In-Law Shares Uplifting Update
Due to her health issues, Miss Kay can’t attend as many family events as she used to. She briefly appeared in the first episode of Duck Dynasty: The Revival, which aired on June 1.
“Mom was on the show at the beginning so we have some sweet moments with her,” Willie said.
That scene was filmed months ago, and Kay unfortunately couldn’t attend a premiere party for the new Duck Dynasty show on June 1. However, she recently had the ability to attend a Sunday church service.
Kay’s daughter-in-law, Lisa (married to Al), posted a new picture of Kay and an uplifting update. Alongside the smiling photo of the Robertson family matriarch, Lisa said, “The beautiful Ms Kay! She was able to attend church today!“
Fans rejoiced after hearing the positive update on Kay, and left comments such as:
“Bless her precious heart. I know she’s misses Phil. So glad she was able to attend church today. So glad that she has her big family to love and care for her.”
“We Love You Miss Kay, We are thinking and Praying for you all in this difficult time.”
“I’ve been praying for her every day. She’s been on my heart a lot.”
“God bless ! Continued prayers for Ms.Kay and the family.”
