Amy Jo Engelhardt
March 24, 1956 ~ February 4, 2021
Amy Jo Engelhardt, 64, Indianapolis, passed away peacefully at home, after a brief battle with brain cancer, February 4, 2021. Amy Jo was born March 24, 1956, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to the late Arthur and Arlene (Szymkowiak) Powers.
She graduated from Holy Angels High School in Milwaukee and continued her education at Concordia University. Hailing from Wisconsin, she was naturally a Packers fan! She worked early on in the 70’s as the secretary to the legendary basketball coach, Al McGuire, and also at The Marcus Corporation. She has been employed as the guidance secretary at Perry Meridian Middle School for more than 20 years most recently. Amy Jo was a member of St. Jude Catholic Church and was a former parishioner at St. Barnabas. Her hard work ethic availed her the opportunity to effortlessly juggle her professional career and being an active wife, mom, and grandma. She enjoyed volunteering, working on fundraisers, crafting, and traveling with her sons. Amy Jo will be fondly remembered for her traditional values, always doing the “right” thing, her kindness and selflessness.
Survivors include her husband of 41 years, Thomas J. Engelhardt; sons, Matt, Danny (Michele), and Mike; sister, Janis Klos; three grandchildren, Annabelle, Charlotte, and Jonah.

Amy was my secretary during the bulk of my tenure as guidance director at PMMS. to say that she was efficient and made my job easier would be an understatement. In so many ways this is a great loss to so many. My condolences for the loss. She left us much too early.
I’ll never forget all the rides home from school. All the science and art projects too! So hard to know what to say. We lost a great person. Stay strong and cherish the memories.

Haven’t seen Amy in years but it doesn’t take away from the memories of being around her and her boys years ago. She was always wonderful! Prayers for her and the family. Carol Elias, St. Barnabas Church
Dear Tom & Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I just found out when addressing a birthday card for Amy and googled your address to make sure I was correct. I’m sure you know we caught up with a four hour conversation in Janurary. We reminisced about our Marcus days, and at the end of our conversation, she thanked me for making her laugh so much. I will cherish that memory and all that I have of her. God Bless all of you…❤ Angela Stathas Curro
