Since the news of LaShun’s death broke, many admirers have rushed to Twitter to express their grief. The actress’ death marks the third death in her family in less than two years.

LASHUN PACE: WHO IS SHE?
LaShun Pace was a member of the vocal quartet The Anointed Pace Sisters and is a well-known American Gospel singer and songwriter. The diva, who was born in Atlanta to Bishop M.J. Pace and Bettie Ann Pace, rose to stardom in the mid–1970s when she began singing alone. LaShun subsequently joined the Pace Sisters with her gifted siblings. Phyllis Pace, June Pace–Martin, Melonda Pace, Dejuaii Pace, Leslie Pace, Latrice Pace, and Lydia Pace were the members of the ensemble. Act Like You Know and I Promised The Lord, Another Day’s Journey are two of LaShun’s most well-known tracks.

I am a second-year journalism student from the school of Mass Communication at KIIT Deemed University, Bhubaneswar. Since I'm pursuing journalism, writing and getting published is my dream job. Due to the fact that my subject's studies are based entirely on my research work and sources, I am able to write informative articles. New writers are worried that the story has been told already, well, it has been, but not by you.
