Obnoxious Report! Tyler Perry buys Mother Bettie Ann Pace a house. The mother of the Anointed Pace Sisters, a Gospel group from back in the day, Shun Pace. It was sometime last year Shun Pace went live on Facebook and revealed that she was broke and homeless living in a small storage room at her mother’s church. It is not certain, but we think Mother Pace was living in the church as well. Needless to say some how Tyler Perry found out about and did something very special for Shun. He got her a Mercedes Benz and a three bedroom place for Shun, her daughter, Mother Pace to stay. Doctors gave up on Mother Pace about a month ago, but she is still living and a number of people have stepped in to come to their aid. Tyler Perry along with a number of his staff and the Mayor of Atlanta’s mother was there this morning to cut the ribbon and welcome Mother Pace to her new house.
Shun Pace admitted she was broke due to bad marriages and poor health the Steller Award Winning Gospel Singer was in financial ruins. At one point Mother Pace was taking care of Shun and her Son Pastor Pace, who later died. The two of them had serious heart challenges and suffered from kidney failure. It is said that Shun just could not go and perform and was not making any money and lost everything. The artist that was known for her incredible vocal range that was put on the map by Edwin Hawkins and her song “I Know I Been Changed” has no recording contract and no longer pulling in the big dollars.
At one time the Pace Family was on their way to the top in the Gospel Industry, it failed to make it happen. Their older brother Pastor Murphy Pace was a dynamic preacher and had a recording choir, The Voices Of Power, Eight of the nine girls comprised the group The Anonited Pace Sisters, and Shun was a solo artist. Great talent and potential, but they could not get a grip on family hurts and pains that made them totally dysfunctional and unable to concour their past to make it to the top. The Sisters appeared on Layalia Vanzant’s “Fix My Life” where a number of horrible family secrets like child molestation and alcoholism that was not in line with the heavy Pentecostal image.
Tyler Perry is helping give Mother Pace a second chance and the ability to live out her last days stress free and able to focus on her health and getting well. As long as anyone can remember Mother Pace has been a prayer warrior and a champion for holiness. At times in her younger years she was rough and hard and was known to say somethings over the mic and in the pulpit that would cut you to the core. At the funeral of her granddaughter she said “Some of you need to learn how to keep Peter in the gate!” You could hear the entire church gasp, it that was Mother Bettie Ann Pace at her best. She was rough and might hurt your feelings but she was going to tell you the truth no matter what! This is extremely touching and personal for me due to having been a member of their church and being very close to Pastor Pace and the sisters at one time. Now Tyler Perry has stepped in right on time to Bless this Atlanta Gospel Icon.
