Barbara “Bobbi” Ann Dalton, 75, passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 21, 2025, at her home in Pawleys Island, SC, surrounded by the love she gave so freely throughout her life. Born in Goshen, New York, to the late Frank and Marjorie Zawatski, Bobbi carried the warmth of her roots with her wherever she went. She dedicated much of her career to the hospitality industry, serving in many capacities within the restaurant world—from back-of-house culinary work as a talented chef, to front-of-house roles as a gracious server, and even into management. She thrived in fine dining establishments, where her attention to detail, warm presence, and passion for creating memorable experiences turned every meal into something special. Whether crafting dishes in a bustling kitchen or ensuring guests felt truly welcomed, Bobbi brought heart, skill, and quiet excellence to everything she did. Above all, she was a devoted mother who always put her family first. Her greatest joy was seeing her children and grandchildren thrive, laugh, and know they were cherished beyond measure. She leaves behind an enduring legacy of unconditional love, quiet strength, and the comfort of a home-cooked meal—or a restaurant table—shared with those she held dear. Bobbi was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Thomas Dalton; her sons, Michael Antoniades (and his wife, Lynn) and Shawn Antoniades; and her sister, Joan Schalebaum. She is survived by her cherished sons, Danny Antoniades (Tina), Corey Antoniades (April), and Brett Antoniades (Shayna); her grandchildren, Shawn Antoniades, Saige Becker (Tyler), Dalton Antoniades, Skylar Antoniades, Gage Antoniades, Skylar Shives, Dakota Shives, and Brayden Antoniades; her great-grandchild, Taylor Elmore; her loving sisters, Vicki Batsone, Donna Barr, and Jamie Powe; and a wide circle of nieces, nephews, and friends whose lives she brightened. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, a cause close to many hearts. Service details will be announced at a later date. Goldfinch Funeral Home, Beach Chapel, is serving the family.
