Just 16 minutes ago, Korie Robertson — daughter-in-law to Phil and Kay Robertson — shared an emotional and tear-filled update that has left fans devastated and praying. Following the recent and heartbreaking loss of Phil Robertson, Korie revealed that Kay Robertson’s health is now rapidly declining as she grieves the man she spent more than six decades beside.
“She’s fading,” Korie said quietly. “Not just in body, but in spirit. Phil was her whole world.”
Miss Kay, 77, is currently under full-time care in West Monroe, surrounded by family and resting in the home she and Phil built together — filled with love, Scripture, and the memories of a life shared in faith.
“She’s not in pain,” Korie continued. “She’s peaceful. But we can see it… she’s tired. She’s heartbroken. And we don’t know how much time is left.”
For millions, Kay Robertson has been a pillar of strength — the nurturing matriarch of the Duck Dynasty family, whose faith-filled presence grounded not only her husband and children, but also the hearts of fans across the world.
Now, in the wake of Phil’s passing, Korie says her mother-in-law’s light has dimmed.
“They were one heart,” she shared through tears. “Losing him… it was like losing a part of her soul. She told me the other night, ‘I just want to be where he is.’”
Korie made the decision to share this painful update not to stir sorrow, but to invite prayer — and to honor the quiet strength of a woman who gave so much, so selflessly.
“We know God’s timing is perfect,” Korie said. “But right now, we just ask for prayers. For comfort. For peace. For the kind of love that can carry someone across even this deepest valley.”
As the family gathers close — holding hands, singing hymns, and reading Scripture — there is a sense of both grief and grace.
Because even as Kay prepares for what may be her final days, she is surrounded by what she and Phil built together: a family rooted in faith, a community held together by love, and a legacy that will not fade.
“She told me last night,” Korie whispered, “‘If I close my eyes and open them in Heaven next to Phil, I’ll be just fine.’”
For now, the Robertsons are holding her close. And asking the world to do the same — in love, in prayer, and in remembrance.
