Obituaries
Melvin McClain Kelly
Melvin McClain Kelly, a long
time resident of El Segundo, born
on September 8, 1932, passed
away on June 2018 in Ahwahnee,
CA. where he lived for the past
31 years with his wife, Carolyn.
Mel graduated from ESHS in
1950, attended El Camino College,
and served in the US Army.
He spent 25 years working for
Chevron as a draftsman where he
eventually retired and moved to Ahwahnee. Mel
was very active in his church, was a member
of the Knights of Columbus, and served on
the Grand Jury. He was a good husband, father,
brother and uncle to his nieces and their
families. Mel will be sorely missed
by his entire family.
Mel is survived by his wife
of 33 years, Carolyn Kelly, his
sons Michael Gober and wife and
Jeremy Anderson and wife, sister
Benna Blair, son Bill and wife,
daughter Sandi and husband, 5
grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren,

The Jewelry Source Trunk Show
to Raise Money for East Africa
Downtown El Segundo’s The Jewelry Source
(337 Main St.) has partnered with Parle Jewelry
Designs and The Devon Foundation to
raise money for gem-cutting scholarships and
school lunch programs in East Africa. During
a special three-day trunk show event July 12,
13 and 14, the store will showcase all types
and varieties of garnets in a collection inspired
by the award-winning documentary Sharing
the Rough. Unbeknownst to many people,
garnets come in every color of the rainbow
-- green, purple, pink, orange, red, yellow
and the very rare blue and all combinations in
between. They also feature fancy names such
as pyrope, tsavorite, spessartite, almandine,
rhodolite, mandarin, mint and lotus, among
others. Garnets are durable, highly refractive
and have no enhancements of any kind.
The Devon Foundation is responsible for
developing talent by providing gem-cutting
scholarships to men and women in East Africa
to enable them to earn a living in the gem trade.
The Jewelry Source’s collection will feature
gemstones directly sourced from the specific area
in Madagascar and Africa where the Malawi
and local tribe people mine these gems. Not
only does the Devon Foundation help sponsor
educational scholarships, but it provides the most
important school supply on the market -- lunch!
The Foundation is now solely responsible for the
Kitarini school lunch program that feeds over
500 young Maasai boys and girls, providing
10,000 meals a month. This has increased school
enrollment and also improved the educational
advancement of each of these children.
During The Jewelry Source’s promotion,
the store will donate 10 percent of any purchases
from this collection to The Devon
Foundation. For additional information, call
310-322-7110.
