Flora was born in 1899 on her family's farm in Hacker Valley, WV. She was the last-born daughter of William Butcher and Charlotte Hoff. She grew up in Hacker Valley, and when she was 18 years old in 1918, she married Arnold Alexander Luikart, a farmer 13 years her senior, in Webster County, WV. They settled first on a farm in Middle Fork, WV, and had five children together. By 1930, they were living back in Hacker Valley on her father's farm. They divorced at some point during the 1930s and in 1941, Flora remarried to Harley Burton Cutright in Bridgeport, WV. They lived for a number of years in Clarksburg, WV where Harley was a worker with the National Carbon Co. When he retired in 1958, they moved to Fort Pierce,FL. Her husband died in 1975.
