Sarah Ann Bernhardt, born March 25, 1958, in Columbia, Missouri, entered into rest on Monday, March 16, 2026, at the age of 67. She was preceded in death by her parents, William Ross and Margaret Ann (nee Duffner) Bernhardt, and her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. William Charles Bernhardt and Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Duffner.
Sarah was the loving wife of Martin Isaacs for 24 years and a devoted mother to Shelton (Kayla Simmons) Sapp and Will (Jamie Carrigan) Sapp. She was a cherished grandmother to Landen, Layla, Nevaeh, Gracie, and Mack Sapp. Sarah is survived by her sisters Linda (Tom) Baygents, Lisa (Chuck) Moses, and Susan (Dave Bell) Corey, and by many beloved aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends. She also adored her dogs, Bella and Trevor.
She loved to read, travel, and spend time with her grandkids boating and jet skiing at their cabin on the Lake of the Ozarks.
A compassionate Registered Nurse, Sarah served patients at Mercy-South (formerly St. Anthony) Hospital and the Veterans Administration Hospital, bringing kindness and calm to those in her care. Warm, generous, and devoted to family, she leaves behind a legacy of love and gentle service.

Sarah was always dearly loved by classmates while growing up in Columbia, Missouri. We have shared the information regarding her passing on the Class of 77 Hickman and Rockbridge high school Facebook page. My condolences go out to the entire family. I’m sorry we never had a chance to get together at the lake where I reside full time. Sincerely Sharon Wulff Naylor

I remember Sarah so fondly. She was always sweet and kind to those around her in high school. So very sorry for your loss. Deepest sympathy. Andrea Griffin Campbell
Sarah was always beautiful, sweet and quiet. I watched her grow up as her family of four beautiful sisters lived a few houses from ours. I’m sure she was an excellent nurse with her caring ways.
I’m very sad as are my two children.
We are sending our deepest sympathy to her family and all who loved Sarah.
