The family suspects that emotional stress and fatigue may have played a role in her recent decline. In recent weeks, loved ones noticed Kay becoming quieter and more withdrawn, especially during times when Phil was away for extended periods.
“She misses him terribly when he’s not close by,” a family member confided. “They’ve shared a lifetime together. That kind of bond runs deep.”
Currently, Kay is at home in West Monroe, where she is being cared for by medical professionals and surrounded by her children, grandchildren, and of course, Phil, who has returned home to be at her side.
The Robertsons are asking for prayers and privacy, and have expressed their gratitude for the outpouring of love already received from fans around the country.
“We believe in the power of prayer,” Willie added. “Miss Kay has always believed that faith gets you through the hardest of days. And right now, we’re holding on to that.”
As updates continue to come in, one thing remains clear: the love that surrounds Kay Robertson—from her family, her fans, and her faith—is powerful, enduring, and deeply felt.Please continue to keep Kay and the Robertson family in your thoughts during this time.
