Aimee is also famous for founding the Foursquare Church.

McPherson's preaching style, extensive charity work and ecumenical contributions were a major influence to the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement in the 20th century.

 

Sister died from a freak overdose of prescribed medicines on September 27, 1944.
