My MIL will be coming with us for Memorial Day weekend,and she is on oxygen when she sleeps so has an oxygen pump.
I suppose I would like to know if there is a risk of having the oxygen pump going with the pilot lights on the oven, fridge, water heater...etc?

Just curious. What do you mean by oxygen pump?. A concentrator? A Cpap?
Anyway, there is no risk. Don't worry about it.

No more risk than in a sticks and bricks home.

By simply keeping the tanks, or the concentrator, a safe distance from the pilot lights there should be virtually no risk. I was on oxygen at night until about 4 months ago and never had any issues or concerns in a pretty small TT.

I am on supp02 24/7.
As long as the cannula, on the face of the person using 02, stays 5ft away from any open flame all will be well.
Have fun!

Thhe concentrators I have seen use quite a bit of electricity. Make sure you have good hookups.
