The League of Canadian Poets established a literary award in Thibaudeau's name and a play set to music based on her words was staged in London, Ontario, in March 2013.
[3] She was raised in St. Thomas, Ontario, and wrote poems during her schooling days that were published in the magazines Here and Now, Northern Review and Undergrad.
Thibaudeau went on to work as a teacher of English conservation at Lycee Joachim du Bellay, in Angers, Maine-et-Loire, France between 1950 and 1951.
[3] Around this time, Thibaudeau began writing poetry for a number of magazines such as blewointment, Branching Out, Canadian Forum, Fiddlehead and Niagara Review under the pseudonym M. Morris, which she used between 1951 and 1962 because she believed her name was becoming a familiar one to editors.
[2] According to Colin Boyd in Thibaudeau's entry in The Canadian Encyclopedia, the poet "celebrates the extraordinary nature of ordinary life by combining the everyday with the otherworldly.
"[8] A play set to music based on Thibaudeau's words called Collenning was held at London, Ontario's Arts Project Theatre in March 2013.
