The beloved trailblazer of The Anointed Pace Sisters, LaShun Pace has died at the age of 60. According to family, Pace was on dialysis for five years waiting for a kidney and died of organ failure Monday, March 21st.
The Atlanta native was part of the renowned sibling gospel group The Anointed Pace Sisters. Born in Atlanta’s Poole Creek community, the Grammy-nominated group made up of nine sisters first shared their family melody in church and local talent shows before rising to gospel stardom.
Known for her hit songs “I Know I’ve Been Changed” and “Act Like You Know,” Pace also carved out her own career and released solo albums. A snippet of LaShun’s 1996 hit ‘Act Like You Know’ recently became a TikTok trend, which her sister said LaShun was so excited about, encouraging her to start working on another album.
Pace was also known for her kind and supportive heart, becoming friends with a young, ambitious filmmaker Tyler Perry. The playwright at the time was working on a new production when Pace came on board. The two remained friends ever since, with Perry touring a play sharing a name to one of Pace’s works, “I Know I’ve Been Changed.”
