Nancy Gail Matza

Nancy Gail (Hill) Matza, beloved sister, mother of Evan (Karyn) and Lexi (Jamison) and grandmother. A bright, witty woman who prevailed against the social mores of her time, Nancy was blessed with thirty years of marriage to Brian Matza. Together, they raised two children and founded a technical school which trained air conditioning technicians.  When Brian died suddenly, Nancy was left a widow in her 50s. She set her prodigious intelligence and energy to attending law school, while working full-time as a technical writer. It was then that Nancy met her second husband, Martin Dropkin, and they went into practice together. After his death in 2019, Nancy continued to practice law and found great meaning and satisfaction in her work supporting people with their legal needs. Nancy was very active in the Medford chapter of Hadassah for many years and was most recently a member of Shir Tikva in Wayland.
