Gospel singer, LaShun Pace dies at the age of 60

Iconic gospel singer, Lashun Pace has died at age of 60.
Pace, who was a key member of gospel vocal group The
Anointed Pace Sisters, died Monday March 21.
Pace was on dialysis for five years waiting for a kidney and
died of organ failure Monday morning, her sister, Lydia Pace
told 11Alive’s Shiba Russell.
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
Lydia said LaShun was so excited about, encouraging her to
start working on another album.
Pace was inducted into the Christian Music Hall of Fame in
2007.
Her death is the third loss for the Atlanta family within two
years. The oldest of the sisters, Duranice Pace, passed
away last year. LaShun is survived by seven of the nine Pace
sisters and an adult daughter.
