LaShun Pace Remembered

Before her death, the Atlanta native famously became part of the sibling gospel group The Anointed Pace Sisters. The nine sisters shared their talent in churches before scoring a breakthrough in the gospel industry.

Despite being part of the group, Pace also launched her solo career by releasing solo albums. Her "Act Like You Know," the song she released in 1996, recently became a TikTok trend. This caused Lydia to ask her sister to work on another album.

Her other hit songs include, "I Promised The Lord," "In Everything Give Thanks," "I Know I've Been Changed," "For My Good," "He Keeps On Doing Great Things," and "Another Day's Journey."

Pace's career helped her grant the wish her late mother, Bettie Ann Pace, made - to become a homeowner. The matriarch passed away in 2020.
