Just moments ago, Alan Robertson, the eldest son of Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson, stood beside his wife Lisa, both visibly shaken, as they delivered a heartfelt and difficult update on the health of his beloved mother, Kay Robertson.
“She’s growing weaker,” Alan said softly, holding Lisa’s hand tightly. “And we know… we’re in the final stretch.”
Now 77, Miss Kay — affectionately known to fans for her warmth, wit, and unwavering faith — is currently under 24-hour care at home in West Monroe, surrounded by her children, grandchildren, and extended family. The update came shortly after a family prayer gathering, where the Robertsons shared memories, tears, and moments of quiet worship.
“She’s resting,” Lisa added through tears. “But there are times she opens her eyes, squeezes our hands, and smiles. It’s like she’s saying ‘I’m still here… but I’m almost home.’”
Kay has long been the gentle heart of the Robertson family — the steady presence in their storm, the spiritual compass in moments of celebration and sorrow. Her famous Southern cooking, her fierce loyalty to Phil, and her motherly wisdom became cornerstones of the family’s identity both on and off screen.
Now, as her health continues to decline, the family is asking for what they’ve always believed in: prayers.
“We believe in miracles,” Alan said. “But we also believe in Heaven. And if God chooses to take her home soon, we know she’ll be stepping into the arms of the man she loved for over 60 years — and into the arms of her Savior.”
The room where she now rests is quiet, peaceful, filled with Scripture readings, hymns, and the tender laughter of family members recalling decades of memories — from duck hunts and family dinners to stories told around the kitchen table.
Fans around the country are already sending love and support, flooding the family’s inboxes and pages with tributes to Miss Kay — a woman who felt like a grandmother to millions.
“She gave us all love when we needed it most,” one fan wrote. “Now it’s our turn to lift her up in prayer.”
Alan closed with a message to those who’ve followed their family for years:
“This journey has never been about fame. It’s always been about faith. And Mom lived that better than anyone I’ve ever known.”
