Shirley Marie Hackbart, 78, of Dallas, TX and formerly of Iowa/Minnesota, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her loving family, after a courageous battle with kidney disease, and a brief illness.

Shirley was born on September 15, 1948, in Minot, ND, the fourth of six children to Gerald and Dorothy (Dueholm) Johannes. She was a bubbly, beautiful person who never hesitated to share her love of her Lord & Savior Jesus Christ, to anyone and everyone willing to listen. Her favorite animal was a lamb, perfectly tying in to her love of her shepherd.

Shirley married Roger Welliver in 1969, and to this union, her daughter Laura Marie was born in 1972. She married Johnny Goodon in 1978, and they welcomed daughter Dorothy Marie on Christmas Day in 1980. Shirley also gave birth to a son, named Jonathan, in November of 1977, whom she graciously gave up for adoption so that he would have a better life than she could provide as a single parent at the time.

In December of 2001, Shirley met the love of her life, Frederick James Hackbart, and they were married on September 21, 2002. They made their home in Manly, IA, where she remained until he passed away in 2009. She moved to Albert Lea, MN and made many friends there. In 2015 she moved to Dallas, TX to be closer to her eldest daughter.

Shirley is preceded in death by her parents, Gerald and Dorothy Johannes, brothers Phillip and David Johannes, sister-in-law Penny Johannes, former husbands, Roger Welliver and Johnny Goodon, and husband Frederick Hackbart, and her two beloved cats, Charlie Tuna and Beaujangles.

Shirley is survived by her daughters, Laura (Jeffrey) Kodat, of Dallas, TX and Dorothy Goodon of Des Moines, IA, brothers, Jerry Johannes, Peter (Dena) Johannes, sister, Michal Ann (Dr. Robert) Haakenson, grandsons Ethan, Adam, and Noah Kodat, granddaughters, Paula Kay and Karma Anne Hekimian, multiple nieces and nephews, and several dearly loved friends in person and on-line.

We take comfort in knowing that Shirley is sharing her musical talents with her Lord and is reunited with her loved ones that have gone before her. Her hugs will be greatly missed as will her brilliant purple hair that she sported proudly. A celebration of life for her local friends was held Sunday, November 8, 2026. A family memorial will be planned for the spring of 2027.
