That movie was A Time to Triumph (1986). I believe that it’s available on DVD and video on demand from Amazon.
In the last couple of weeks, we’ve lost many other familiar names and faces: Robert Horton, Joe Santos, Ken Howard, James Noble, Earl Hamner, Jr., and Peter Brown. But they and Patty will live in our memories in moments like these:

She lived in the area and was known for doing a lot of charity works…helping with local theater and hospital fund raising here.
BTWL: her current husband was ex-US Army , the met when she did a TV film about a woman Army helicopter pilot (which I’ve never seen, it was shown when I was living in the UK).
