How Miss Kay Is Coping After Phil Robertson’s Death
Following the heartfelt loss of Phil Robertson on May 25, 2025, many fans have been wondering how his wife of more than six decades, Miss Kay, is doing in the aftermath of his passing.
Phil – the founder of Duck Commander and star of Duck Dynasty – was more than a TV personality. He was the spiritual rock of his family, a symbol of resilience, and a deeply faithful man. When he passed away from complications related to Alzheimer’s and a blood disorder, fans mourned. But their thoughts quickly turned to the woman who stood by his side all those years.
Miss Kay initially retreated from the public eye. She didn’t make any official statement in the days following his funeral and was rarely seen in public, sparking concern and speculation among loyal followers.
However, more recent updates from the Robertson family – particularly son Willie – show that Miss Kay is slowly easing back into daily life. She now spends most of her time with her grandchildren, who, according to family members, have been her greatest comfort during this difficult time.
In a quiet conversation captured after a Sunday church gathering, Miss Kay reportedly said:
“I still hear his voice every morning. In my heart, he never left.”
She has kept all of Phil’s belongings in place – his old duck call gear, his favorite chair, even his Bible on the nightstand. Those close to her say it brings her peace.
Although she continues to support community efforts in West Monroe, Louisiana, Miss Kay prefers a quiet role. She’s declined most interview requests and avoids media spotlight.
A longtime friend of the family remarked:
“Kay is strong, just as Phil always wanted her to be. But her heart still carries the weight of that goodbye.”
For fans who remember their warmth and bond on Duck Dynasty, this phase of Miss Kay’s life may feel bittersweet. Though she now walks without Phil, her steps are surrounded by love – from family, friends, and millions of hearts who still call her “Mama Kay.”
