LaShun Pace, an Atlanta-born gospel singer, has died. She was 60.

Her family and management company both confirmed the tragic news in separate statements on Monday.

In reports shared by CBS46 and 11Alive's Shiba Russell, people close to Pace revealed that the singer-songwriter passed away after years of enduring health issues.

Her sister, Lydia Pace, revealed that the singer was on dialysis for five years but was currently waiting for a kidney donor. However, she died of organ failure on Monday morning.

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.
