The daughter of Jean-Marie Naubert and Theodora D'Aoust, she was born in Hull[1] and received a Bachelor of Music from the École de musique Vincent-d'Indy in Montreal.[2] From 1946 to 1952, she wrote drama for Radio Canada. After spending some time in the United States, Naubert produced a number of novels:
- La dormeuse éveillée (1965)

She was writer in residence at the University of Ottawa in 1980.[2]
Naubert died in Ottawa at the age of 64.[1]
Île Yvette-Naubert, a small island in the Ottawa River near the Val-Tétreau neighbourhood of Gatineau, was named in her honour.[2] Avenue Yvette-Naubert in Montreal also takes its name from her.[3]
