Edward F. Menefee ’56

Ed died Dec. 12, 2023, in Atlanta.

He came to Princeton from Woodberry Forest School in Orange, Va., where he participated in football and track. Ed joined Cottage Club, majored in history, and rowed in lightweight crew while serving as a Chapel deacon and headwaiter at Commons. His senior year was “the best ever” because (with Dean Francis Godolphin’s permission) Ed married his love, Paula Livingston Schulke in 1955.

Ed went on to earn an architecture degree at Carnegie Mellon University in 1959, followed by work as a principal at major Atlanta firms. In 1980, he formed his own architectural firm, EFM Architecture. Ed also served on the board of the Galloway School and as a director of the Atlanta Chapter of the American Institute of Architects.

Ed was predeceased by his daughter Roxana. He is survived by his wife, Paula, who was a lifelong partner in art and design for his firm; and children Christopher, Reed ’86, and Lansing Livingston Martinelli; 10 grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren. All will fondly remember deep ties and adventures with Ed’s Princeton family.
