The Byers family consists of four members; Joyce, her two sons Jonathan and Will, plus Joyce's ex-husband, Lonnie Byers. The family had lived in Hawkins, Indiana since at least 1973 and Joyce was employed at Melvald's General Store. In 1983, Joyce and her sons still lived in Hawkins, Indiana, but her ex-husband, Lonnie Byers, lived in Indianapolis. In July 1985, Eleven began living with Joyce and her sons, as a stepchild. In October, 1985, Joyce, Jonathan, Will, and Eleven moved to Lenora Hills, California.
In 1983, the family had a dog named Chester, though he had apparently died by October 1984.
Joyce had an aunt named Darlene.
