Hasn’t been officially announced that I’ve seen yet, but Dale Halton passed away this morning. A sad day for Niner Nation. We don’t have the facilities on campus today without her generosity.
Thank you Dale Halton for everything you have done for our University. You will be missed and fondly remembered.

Jerry Richardson and Dale Halton both gone in the last month. I met Dale Halton as a student years ago. Grateful for her support of the university and wish we had more supporters like her.

RIP Dale.
Watched one NCAA tournament game at the other end of a table she was at. She was a big fan of the program, and I will always be thankful for her support.

Wow. Just spoke to Dale at the 1946 Society get together about a month ago. She looked frail and was on oxygen, but still there supporting our University. Also have fond memories sitting at her table during the pregame tailgate at the Bahama’s Bowl. She loved our school and supported it like no one else. God Bless Dale Halton and Family.

Without Dale there is no telling where Charlotte would be today. Her generosity supporting Charlotte as well as countless other charities across the Charlotte area.
She was a great businesswoman and used that to build a philanthropic legacy.
Outside of all that she was just a nice and classy lady who always was friendly and courteous to anyone and everone.
Prayers go out to her family.

Spoke to her in passing once. Just a hi and thanks for all her great support. She wasn’t an alumna, but man, she was a very vocal supporter in the stands too. She will be missed.

I’m pretty sure she at least took some classes at Charlotte College.
There will never be another. RIP

I heard make a comment at pregame dinner one night that she texted sanchez about the need for us to rebound better. I was laughing but figured that is one text he probably has to respond since her name is on the building

Talked to Dale a few times and she was always very polite. She was a constant figure at basketball games and other events and her charity has made a lasting impact for the Niners and greater Charlotte area. Sad to hear the news and thoughts go out to her family.
